When it comes to talking about the activity of directing the
church, the language of leadership and leaders is increasingly
popular. Yet what is leadership - and how might theological
narratives better resource the discourse and practice of leadership
in ecclesial contexts? In identifying and critiquing managerialism
as a dominant narrative of leadership in the Western church, this
book calls for an alternative approach founded on the concept of
friendship. Engaging with the wider field of leadership studies,
the book establishes an understanding of leadership activity and
brings it into conversation with an incarnational ecclesiology. The
result is a prophetic reimagining of ecclesial leadership in terms
of a relational, kenotic praxis. This praxis of mutuality and love
is framed here in the rich language of Christian friendship. The
book also wrestles deeply with the embodiment of such a praxis,
making explicit the power behaviours typical of
friendship-leadership and offering constructive guidance for
practitioners in the task of implementation within a complex and
fractured world. This book offers a new vision of the centrality of
friendship to leadership of a healthy church community. As such, it
will be of great use to scholars of practical theology,
ecclesiology and leadership, as well as practitioners in church
ministry.
