When writing to the churches he had planted the apostle Paul did not address a ‘leadership team’ – he wrote to the church (gathered disciples). ‘Leadership teams’ can restrict rather than enable – control rather than release. God’s vision is for disciples to make disciples – lead people to Jesus and experience the kind of fellowship and relationship that God has within his Triune self. That means ‘conversational leadership’ – with everyone involved, not hierarchical. Of course that would suggest simpler gatherings!
