Michael Brown,

Though your point #3, above, is an obvious reality to reinforce good leadership, I wonder too about the goal Paul stated in Ephesians about such leadership “equpping the Saints to do the ministry.” It seems, at least in this country, that leadership becomes a self-perpetuating reality, which largely ignores this charge for it to become an ever-expanding reality as a shared requirement both of visible leaders and so-called flocks. How should this scripture stating the fact of four or five fold ministerial leadership be viewed in a country which seems hung up on personalities being the measure of who’s who in Christianity in America? How does this scripture’s intention for leadership baton passing and equipping without the past leadership loarding over the future fit into your view of a need for a Christian Revolution here?
