The Effect of Pastor-Centricity on the Body of Christ
Pastor-centricity within the body of Christ has led to passivity and dependency on the pastor, hindering the congregation's ability to function independently. The traditional focus on the pastor as the central figure has marginalized the active participation and utilization of spiritual gifts by the entire body. This pastor-centric mindset has perpetuated a clergy-laity divide, restricting the full expression of the body of Christ and impeding the congregation from collectively building itself up in love.
