A new series highlighting the odd, bizarre, funny, or perhaps even heretical behavior of those who claim the title "pastor".

#003 - The case of grizzly adams
[Note: this story is neither odd, bizarre, nor heretical---it is amazing, and perhaps even cool].
Some pastors are tough as nails. I've met some downright battle-hardened, stone-faced, fist-clenched, stare-you-down pastors in my (short) time, but I think Pastor Tom Patmor of Alaska is the toughest of the bunch. It seems he was attacked by a female grizzly bear (called a sow) and he decided go Mike Tyson on her. No, he didn't bite her ear off, but he did get into a fistfight with the bear! (Read story here).
Now, I'm not saying Pastor Tom is mean (the townsfolk really seem to like him). I'm sure he's a really nice guy---BUT, I'm quite sure I'd never pick a fight with Pastor Tom. A guy who takes on a grizzly would have me for lunch!
