Language As Leadership, Shirley Freed
Journal of Applied Christian Leadership
"Human beings have a fundamental connection to “home.” Christian leaders all have the underlying goal of leading the way home. We speak of heaven as home; we use phrases like, “home is where the heart is,” and “home Sweet home.” When circumstances are difficult, when we are worn and discouraged, we lean on life’s tired dreams and murmur, “i just want to go home.” home means many things to each of us, but i think that language is one of the vehicles that takes us home.

Journal of Applied Christian Leadership
"I learned that the photographers who captured unforgettable images all had some things in common: they seemed to know themselves and people; they had vision, passion, and timing; they had an innate ability to communicate effectively; they took risks; and they learned from their mistakes. I also came to realize that as a result of their unique presence—and often their sacrifice—they made a significant and lasting contribution to our world."

Leo The Great On The Supremacy Of The Bishop Of Rome, Denis Kaiser
Leo The Great On The Supremacy Of The Bishop Of Rome, Denis Kaiser

Yet Leo’s rationale for the absolute control and power of …

Master's Theses

Since this position on leadership is no longer accepted in the Adventist Church …
