As concerns, the qualities of a good pastor, my thinking is as follows:

The ability to live with ambiguity. Pastors who see everything in stark terms may do well at communicating doctrine, but they fall short in managing human relationships.

Listen and search for values. Listening is so very important. It does not involve merely hearing and absorbing information, but also interpreting what is conveyed. What are the values that are being shared?

Read the Bible and think on how it educates us on the conduct of human relationships. It is our primary text, our spiritual anchor. It can be read literally, as a source of truth, or consulted as a guide in everyday life, as a source of life itself. I far prefer to read it as the latter. Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly. The Bible gives us many clues as to how to together on this planet, and how to be faithful to God.
