Organic Leadership

Now this looks interesting. I first came across Neil Cole by reading Organic Church. The forward is by Reggie McNeal who I seem to recall was the guy on the video I posted near the beginning of my sabbatical.

Not due for release in the UK until March next year means I'll have to wait a while to read it, but read it I probably will. If anyone gets to it first and reads it, let me know what you think.

The synopsis on Amazon says:

Is it possible that the division between the clergy and the laity is unnecessary and, in fact, harmful to the church? In Organic Leadership, Neil Cole fervently says yes. But rather than doing away with the clergy, Cole argues that the answer is to raise up organically grown leaders from ordinary Christians and make everyone "clergy." Using examples from modern cinema, personal experience, and the Bible, Cole sets out to change our view of what a leader is and how one is formed. This fresh and revolutionary alternative will transform readers and equip them to challenge themselves and others to find the vision God has for them.

I really enjoyed Organic Church so maybe I'll re-read that while I wait!
