Elton… deep stuff. Very profound. You have an amazing way of saying in a few sentences what I would have rambled on and on about. Thanks for summarizing it.

Beauracracies take on a life of their own, and serve to perpetuate the status quo. Spiritual leadership doesn't look anything like a beauracracy. Beauracratic leaders derive their leadership from their position or title, and will try to quiet anyone who has a differing view to preserve the beauracracy that has given them power. Spiritual leaders derive their leadership from relationships and trust, and therefore can have an honest dialogue with those they are leading who disagree with their viewpoints.
