The way of the Christian leader

DateTuesday, June 12, 2007 at 11:05PM

This post is from the defunct blog "Dying Church"

From Henri Nouwen's In The Name of Jesus:

The way of the Christian leader is not the way of upward mobility in which the world has invested so much, but the way of downward mobility ending on the cross. … It is not a leadership of power and control, but a leadership of powerlessness and humility in which the suffering servant of God, Jesus Christ, is made manifest.

I think it's from "In the name of Jesus" pages 62-63.
