Discerning Leadership (L1)

Bishop Graham Cray champions a revolution in leadership through renewed dependence on the church's primary leader: the Holy Spirit. With profound implications for resourcing the local church for mission, this is a trenchant must-read.

At the start of the church's ministry, the apostles were not invited to deploy their resources or plan their strategy, but were commanded to wait for the Holy Spirit. The same command comes to the Church today, in unfamiliar and unpredictable times. 

Graham Cray explores what it means for leaders to cultivate an environment that innovates and releases the missional imagination present in a community of God's people, by virtue of the Spirit's presence, and what that means for the worldview, charisms, character and experience of such leaders.
