I have been thinking about this subject of leadership.  There several sides to this discussion:  1) Elderships that act as a "board of directors" and are out of tune with the congregation 2) Elderships that do not "lead" in any sense 3) Elderships that are focused on the business model and have no conception of servant leadership and 4) Elderships that concentrate ( i.e. do ) the work of deacons and ignore spiritual development of the flock.

 

When elders are "appointed" ( in the NT example by the evangelist---???? where did this example go??), concentration is given to his character ( Tim. and Titus), but almost nothing is said about what elders are to do.   Clearly, one trait of leadership ( never mentioned that I recall in the many elder selection processes I have personally witnessed) is that of vision: Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perishf: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.   I am well aware that "vision" here is also translated "revelation".  But, even with this connotation elders are seldom selected based on their ability to interpret and implement the "vision/mission/revelation" of God for his people.  Where is the training for what elders/leaders are actually to do??

In my view one of the greatest deficiencies in the church is the lack of qualified/trained elders/leaders.
