Why Servant Leadership? Bennett Sims, among other prophetic voices, suggests that we are currently living on a "hinge of history", a "vast turning point" in the evolution of human consciousness. In our Servant Leadership classes we learn to recognize two distinct and fundamentally different world-views and to interpret the basic biblical story as a movement out of the one, Egypt or Empire, what Walter Wink calls the "Domination System" and into the other, Jesus' alternative to the Domination System, which he called the "Kingdom of God." It is the core biblical narrative, the movement from bondage to freedom. In the language of Michael Lerner, it is a shift from the "voice of fear" to the "voice of hope." The Rev. Tim Patterson, one of the founders of the Servant Leadership School of Greensboro, says, "We have tried to weave together a comprehensive vision of servant leadership, with practical pathways for people seeking to grow as Christian disciples who make a difference in the world." In Servant Leadership, we learn various "practices" to make that shift in the context of our daily living.

Fall Servant
Leadership Course
Verna Dozier often remarked that “Jesus called his community to follow
him, not worship him. But the Church chose the latter.” In this
course, we will use Dozier’s book The Dream of God: A Call to Return
and other resources as we examine her idea of the essence of faith,
which often surfaces as ambiguity. We will look at these writings
through the lens of Servant Leadership, particularly in the areas of
power, prestige, and possessions. Please join us!
Course fee: $25.00 (or what you can
pay) Facilitated by Bonnie Duckworth and Susan Terrell Please call the church office by Friday, August 20th to register for the course.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER Every Tuesdays 12:15 –
1:15 Location: Chapel
