Actually, the Bible does not forbid this, but rather, contains the command "Be shepherds" twice:

Acts 20:28 "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood." (NIV)

1 Peter 5:2 "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;" (NIV)

Immanuel,
Brian.
