What is the role of pastor emeritus?

The title "Pastor Emeritus" usually refers to a pastor who has been involved greatly in a congregation's life. This pastor may have been the one who founded the particular church body, or one who had just retired. Usually a Pastor Emeritus is given the title as an honor and as a way of saying, "well done, now you can rest." In other words, a Pastor Emeritus is not expected to continue his work at the church, but to enjoy retirement. This does not mean that the Pastor Emeritus cannot agree to fill in or assist when needed.
