Working towards weeks 4-10

Ok, I have loaded up everyone's blog focus for the next 6 weeks of the course. The abbreviations are
S = Servant
G = Gardener
B = Builder
R = Resource manager
C = Cross carrier
P = Parent

So if you want to see what, say "builders" are learning about leadership, click on people with a "B" beside their name.

And a reminder that the "early church" text we are drawing from is 1 Corinthians 3 and 4; to ask what these 6 images mean for our leadership?
- servant; 3:5; servants who waited on you
- gardener; 3:6-9; you are God’s garden
- builder; 3:9-17; I laid a foundation on which others
- resource manager; 3:18-4:7; Christ’s oikonomos [estate manager]
- cross carrier; 4:8-13; we are fools for Christ
- parent; 4:14-21; "fathers" to help you grow

A notice

Just a reminder to the class that the 3 posts you need to do in relation to weeks 1-3 do not include your first post introducing yourself. That was just to get you used to posting.

Lecturers quote of the week

"Leaders need an ear more than a tongue."
