Elders as a team
This part of the course explores the importance of Elders working as a team - amongst themselves and with the wider church community.
2. First thoughts
Before we look at what others think reflect a little on these questions:
- how do you see elders operating as a team in your church? Is it constructive?
- what has teamwork achieved within your church life? Has it been positive in its impact?
- have there been times when a dissenting voice has had an impact on the future path of the church? In what way was that voice heard?
Record your thoughts in a way suitable for you - this may be in a notebook, or a reflective journal, as art, or whatever suits you best. But, do record them now as you will look at these notes again later.
