Quotes: "When members of a community of faith cannot truly know and love their shepherd, sherpherding quickly becomes a subtle way of exercising power over others and begins to show authoritarian and dictatorial traits. The world in which we live ... has no models to offer to those who want to be shepherds in the way Jesus was a shepherd... The leadership about which Jesus speaks is of a radically different kind from the leadership offered by the world... A whole new type of leadership is asked for ... leadership that is not modeled on the power games of the world, but on the servant-leader Jesus, who came to give his life for the salvation of many." Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus, p.62-63
Notes:
