“The very fact that the church today continually cries out for leadership is an indication of the lack of teamwork and cooperation among the followers of Jesus. If we were better followers of Jesus—persons who did a better job of imitating the style and person of Jesus—we might discover that leadership is a shared experience, an ongoing “dance” between being a leader and a follower, and a product of the community of faith. That we in the church look for someone to be a leader who will save us is an indication that we are not following the One who is already the Savior.”
