I especially like the phrase "itsless about giving up but more about living up what the gospel is trying to say to us". I think you are right. Liam Sam,

Thanks for your comment. I especially like the phrase “itsless about giving up but more about living up what the gospel is trying to say to us”. I think you are right.

One cannot be faulted for actively loving their neighbor nor for trying to learn from them. I used to believe that we'd all have to give up something in order to truly embrace ecumenism but I'm finding more and more that its less about giving up but more about living up what the gospel is trying to say to us. I do find myself opposed to any type of "leadership development" (maybe its a season?) and consider it one more way that we westerners conspire to 1)get to the top of the heap if we are striving to lead or 2)once we are on the top, learning to influence others to think like we do as if that is the definitive way to think. in my own journey I have discovered the beauty of discipleship (which the western church often believes is synonymous with leadership) or rather the enjoyment of sitting and really listening to the lives of people.
