The following is excerpted from Larry Taylor's book "The Ministry of the Assisting Pastor- Things I learned from my pastor". Publisher: Calvary Chapel Bible College, Twin Peaks; First edition (1994) 

7. Never Gossip

Gossip is a sin that most of us feel we are not guilty of, and which most of us are very guilty of. Gossip may be defined as saying anything negative, whether true or not, to anyone about the pastor or about the ministry. If there are things wrong, take it to the Lord in prayer. Tell absolutely no one, including your spouse. Do not repeat anything that would cast aspersion on the ministry in any way. Doing so dishonors Christ and His cause.

But, you say, what do you do if there are real problems? Pray about them and forget them. If that doesn't work, take your concerns directly and only to the pastor himself, and share with him honestly. If that doesn't work, resign and move on. Under no circumstances should you ever say anything negative about the pastor or the ministry to anyone, even after you've quit.

In a situation where something in the church is so completely wrong that the sheep in the body are in spiritual danger, then say nothing to anybody, resign, and move on. If the church is a Calvary Chapel affiliate, then take your concerns and share them privately with Pastor Chuck or with Oden Fong, then drop it, leave it alone. Let them handle it. Trust God. He'll correct the situation. But, do not gossip. It is a terrible sin before God.

8.Defend the Pastor and the Ministry from all negative talk

Anything that would hinder or cast aspersion on the ministry will adversely affect the work of the Holy Spirit in your town. Therefore,defend the ministry. When you hear anything even slightly negative about the pastor or about the ministry, intervene, correct it, stop it. Gossip and slander can destroy a great work of God, and can ruin the reputation of godly people. Listening to it condones it. Step into the conversation and boldly rebuke the gossip, replacing it with that which is lovely, positive, and of good report.

Every church has its critics and its people who think they have a better way of doing things. We can be open to ideas and to constructive criticism, we do not have all the answers. But when the constructive criticism becomes destructive complaining, put an end to it. As an assisting pastor, you must be the eyes and ears of the ministry. Know what the people are saying, and steer them in a godly direction.

A former CC insider has written:

...the Larry Taylor pamphlet was never commissioned by the church nor was it approved to use church funds to publish it. In fact, Chuck never desired it. Larry took funds from bible college revenues without permission and published it...
