CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO PASTORAL LEADERSHIP AND SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

ANNOUNCEMENT: KAIROS PUBLIC FORUM

CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO PASTORAL LEADERSHIP AND SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

Churches today that aspire to grow big eagerly seek out strong leaders to lead the way. However, the price of rapid growth seems to be the displacement of pastoral ministry by organizational imperatives that prioritize efficiency and programs over personal relationships.

There is concern that strong leadership without accountability may lead to abuse of power, resulting in problems such as leadership cronyism, misappropriation of finances and sexual impropriety.

How can churches maintain the balance between organizational imperatives and pastoral care that is vital for healthy church growth in contemporary society? What biblical resources may be found to help churches and Christian leaders address the problems and challenges confronting church leadership, spiritual authority and pastoral ministry today?

These are some of the important issues that will be discussed at the Forum.
