Did Mitt Romney misspeak last night on being a pastor in the Mormon church?

Hopefully, a member of the Mormon church can answer this. Are there pastors in the Mormon church? I thought there were only lay leaders?

    'Pastor' is a word that has never been used by Mormons in my lifetime. The local guy is a bishop, his boss is the stake president. Romney has held both volunteer part time untrained positions. The next level up is a paid position, a General Authority. There are thousands of paid LDS employees.

    They don't call them pastors in the mormon church. The leader of a congregation is called a bishop. I suspect Romney used the term "Pastor" because it would most accurately describe his position in terms most understandable to non-mormons. In other churches, a bishop, is a much higher position than it is in the mormon church.

    No, he was "called" by the church both to be a bishop and a pastor in the church. It's like a temporary position like the missionaries. I don't know how long they serve for, though.

    He has been a pastor and a Bishop, Mormons aren't immune from being influenced by a man who tithes ten percent of $250 million and donates to Brigham Young University.

    "We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth."

    Romney is a Bishop.

    We have never had a Bishop as President before.

    I don't like it.
