Decentralization in Church Leadership

In the face of a decentralized moment driven by technology and distributed power, the conventional unified authority in the church is transitioning. Pastors now find themselves mediating a battle as they try to hold together various groups formed not by the church's relational network, but by diverse political, ethnic, and social affiliations. This shift requires pastors to navigate a new era where consensus within a single tribe no longer suffices, and they must adapt to a landscape where they act as referees amidst disparate groups vying for influence and power.
