Following the departure of two leaders from our old church we discussed the nature and character of church leadership pre and post sabbatical. The following points were noted
- The New Leadership team was over represented by Caucasians
- Women in leadership positions were sometimes patronising and paternalistic in their dealings with younger women (and they did not model Titus 2:3-5)
- One women in the worship team felt frightened of senior leadership
- Leadership did not always engage with us where we are at (emotionally, pastorally, theologically, ministerially or in our guidance)
