So, today I'm in class, and somewhat bored. This class is "Leading in a Culture of Change", and its more or less a rehash of all the corporate "leadership" rhetoric from the 80's.

Truly, I find it somewhat discouraging and disturbing that the church is training its leaders using materials from the corporate world. Is there really no diference between church leadership and corporate leadership? Obviously, there is a huge difference.

I can't help but think that the time spent in this class would be much better spent on spiritual development, in prayer. I suppose its a necessary function of what a seminary is, but why must they focus so much more on knowledge transfer? I don't know that knowledge transfer is of any help in leadership
