How Would Jesus Campaign?
Dear Fellow Preachers,
The coming election brings issues of leadership to the fore. In fact, with the glut of campaign ads, we can hardly help but think about it, and the same is true for our laypeople. So for this week's installment of The Immediate Word, we have chosen to examine, from a gospel perspective, the matter of what it means to be a leader. We've asked TIW team member Carlos Wilton, pastor of Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, to write on the topic, using as a basis this Sunday's lectionary gospel text from Matthew 23.
