Leadership

We have both just read a great little book called "In the name of Jesus" by Henri Nouwen. It's well worth a read. Here is a quote from page 60. "One thing is clear to me: the temptation of power is greatest when intimacy is a threat. Much Christian leadership is exercised by people who do not know how to develop healthy, intimate relationships and have opted for power and control instead. Many Christian empire-builders have been people unable to give and receive love."
