As an out of state student I went home with a friends family and observed a church service for Easter weekend. I have never sat through a church service and specifically paid attention to the leader. The leader at the front of today's service was a priest. He stood in white gowns with two assistants that sat behind him. He was the only individual facing the church at all times. All the parishoners were facing the front. I found myself asking myself is this effective leadership.
He commanded great attention and was very powerful. I was attentive and listened. It is an interesting concept church. Is the priest the leader in the minds of parishoners or is god? Who are they really their to listen to? Is church spiritually driven (within oneself) or speech driven (by the priest).
It is interesting that I write this blog. Although I am religious and I am spirtually driven, I do not publicise or discuss my thoughts outloud. However I think it is something that should be addressed within an organization and leadership because it does have an effect on many peoples daily decisions.
