There are 58 "one anothers" in the New Testament, 0 information
about "the pastor." According to how "church" is done in most
quarters, the existence of the church and all its eggs are put into
the one basket of "the pastor." C. Peter Wagner reflects this
general outlook when he asserts, "The local church is like a
company with one company commander, the pastor, who gets his orders
from the Commander-in-Chief... The pastor has the power in the
growing church... The pastor of a growing church may appear to
outsiders as a dictator, but to the people of the church, his
decisions are their decisions." There have been thousands of books
published about the aspects of church leadership, but comparatively
very little time has been spent on the necessity of the church to
"love one another," and all the rest of the one anothers that flow
out of Christ's new command. Based on observations since 1965, Jon
Zens' conclusion is that we need more and more of Christ, and less
and less of the traditional views of "leadership." This book sets
forth the Jesus-centered way of functioning as brother and sisters
in the Body of Christ... Contributors span from 1937 - 2013: Hans
van Campenhausen, Judy Schindler, Bruce Davidson, Daryl Erkel,
Matthew & Christa McKirkland, Hendrik Hart, Russ Ross, Lawrence
Burkholder, R.L. Wysong, Norbert Ward, Katt Huff, Stephen Crosby,
Fydor Dosteyevsky, H.L. Mencken, John Howard Yoder, and Frank
Viola... These authors take issue with the traditional
understandings of church life, and point the way to Christ, the
only rightful Leader of the ekklesia
