“"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few
Can anyone out there tell me what this has got to do with what I said about leadership. All I can see is an attempt to give the poster a holier than thou attitude.
So, you can write a holier than thou, false statement like this:
"Instead of having leaders who are servants, we have leaders who are masters. In the rcc, from the priest up they are worshipped and obeyed without question. They do not model servanthood."
AND you get to call me holier than thou? What kind of reasoning is this?
As far as your idea of leadership - I agree that we are called to be servants. Having been briefly involved in a house church movement, I saw sincere people attempting to live this ideal - I saw others in the group positioning themselves for power - just like every other church. The fact is, smaller churches do not solve this problem and they actually invite other problems like private interpretation of scripture.
There is your commentary on your ideas on leadership.
