What kind of leadership for 2020?
So the next question is: What kind of leadership for 2020?
Here are some initial thoughts:
- I guess first of all , a younger leadership that is less moulded by church as it was and is
- A leadership that if focussed on mission, and who understanding Anglicanism as what undergirds that mission.
- Not working to preserve Anglicanism per se
- Steeped in the Anglican tradition as something that gives life and through which God works to give life and to change the world
- Lives out of a profoundly prayerful place
- Willing to take risks and to fail
- Is innovative
- Is filled with God’s love for all people including those we often struggle to love
- Is more interested in living the gospel than preaching the gospel
- Is willing to question and not take for granted
- Loves people can take a community of people with them rather than being a lone ranger
- Works with teams
- Helps groups of people develop a vision and ways of working that out
- Resources people in their ministry
- Works hard to engage all ages and not just offer people
- Is clear that mission must involve all age groups, and particularly young people
