So this is not simply a matter of whether extroverts or introverts make better leaders, but a question about the general soundness of our leadership models. When we explicitly or implicitly communicate that only a few people for whom the stars miraculously align can lead with power and effectiveness, we discourage those who do not fit our cultural ideals but have great potential to lead—thus doing harm to the body of Christ. Further, this model of leadership only validates the widespread, unbiblical expectation that pastors play the role of benefactor while everyone else in the congregation is a beneficiary.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.christiancentury.org/article.lasso?id=7964">Can Introverts Lead?</a></em>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/246405593http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/246405593Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:09:51 -0600<a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/west/chi-immigraton-pastors-w-zone-11nov11,0,4489002.story">DuPage County evangelical churches struggle with immigration debate</a>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/240980567http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/240980567Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:39:37 -0600<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksz61seJHE1qz4y4ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/11/10/the-onion-2/">The Onion 2</a></p>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/240980461http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/240980461Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:39:27 -0600<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7433143&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7433143&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7433143&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234991922http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234991922Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:45:31 -0600<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksovnc7VM81qz4y4ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>This sounds like like a discussion in my Thomas Aquinas class about matter, form, the soul, etc…Obviously, with different conclusions.</p>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234935061http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234935061Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:18:00 -0600<a href="http://iamsecond.com/">I Am Second</a>http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234113333http://claytonius.tumblr.com/post/234113333Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:35:46 -0600<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w8acpOtELQk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w8acpOtELQk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>This is one of my favorite professors here at Wheaton.
