#2"The city had also made it hard for the church to provide meals for the homeless by requiring costly permits, he said."
Is that true?

#3His critiques, while vulgar seem pretty fair and I hope he finds a new position somewhere.

#4I'm saddened that he felt compelled to resign. The Gospel advocates poverty, whether you take that in the literal sense or whether you take it to mean humility, I imagine the stark divide visible in SV would probably be pretty hard to understand.

This article doesn't mention those permits in particular but shows how opposed people at that council meeting were to even letting the church continue to host events. http://padailypost.com/2018/05/15/pastor-slams-palo-alto-in-...

#7While I'm not a religious person, this is a man whose convictions I can respect.

#8Pastors deal with so much frustration every day. Working with people in any job is messy and can be very draining. In the context of a church, working with people is significantly messier and more draining.
Pastors burn out all the time. But it is still sad to see.
If you attend a church or know a pastor, just know that they are probably dealing with a lot of stuff you don't know about.

#10He may have been a bit profane, but he's not wrong. Rich and upper-middle class liberals, particularly in places like the Bay area, need to take a serious look inward.
