"This project began in a conversation with Ralph Lebold in the halls of Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana. Over the course of several years, I had been in many different locations where significant presentations had been made related to emerging understandings of pastoral ministry. I knew that important things were being spoken which had not been heard for three decades in most Mennonite settings. New wineskins were containing new ways of understanding ministry." -- From the Preface

Understanding Christian Leadership offers an examination of a distinctly Christian understanding of leadership offering a critical appraisal of insights from secular theories of leadership, exploring biblical and other theological insights into the nature and practice of leadership. Whilst arguing for a form of leadership which is widely dispersed and collaborative, the book seeks to explain the distinctive role of leaders within such a leadership economy. It also seeks to establish a proper relationship between sacred and secular leadership thinking, tackling some of the common philosophical and theological reservations to do with leadership discourse, whilst offering a critical framework for discerning the suitability for the Church of different sources of leadership thinking. Designed as core reading for leadership modules currently taught by the author across a large number of training contexts in the UK, this book is an indispensable text for those taking undergraduate or postgraduate-level qualifications in Christian leadership as well as those in other less formal leadership training contexts. Foreword by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury

He also knows the power such churches can have to change lives.
