The Church and Higher Education: Conflict or Complement, Part 3

How do leaders pursue synergy while at the same time respecting autonomy?
One word comes to mind—it is the word “humility.”
Paul would write to these believers in Romans 14:19, “So then, let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.” That’s humility.
Paul would write to the Ephesians a description of a leader worth following.

How do you know if a leader is worthy of his position and calling to spiritual leadership? Here’s the profile—see if it matches your institution or church board: he’s humble, gentle, patient, and diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit.
