the aftershock

So, Easter once more passes. And Pentecost beckons.

In what I do, issues of congregational politics, power and people in leadership are never far away. So I find myself reflecting. What qualities, in the light of Easter, are essential in Christian - and therefore, baptistic - leadership?

And I rather fancy the acronym, PHD, as a starting point.

PASSION that reflects the personality of God.
HUMILTY that heralds the heart of Jesus.
DEPENDENCY that relates into life with God with people around us.

None of them are easy. They come at a price. Easter.
