|a This thesis-project explores the dynamics between leaders and their congregants in terms
of the different possible models of Christocentric and Pneumatocentric leadership. In this
research, the project engages different interpretations of Christocentric leadership models
and investigates a pneumatological model in which the Spirit operates as mediator, guide
and teacher, affecting the outlook of an ecclesial body in the process of decision-making
and formulating ministry. It is the author’s intuition that a pneumatological paradigm for
leadership, communal life, ministry, and decision-making has the potential to inspire the
emergence and implementation of a shared ecclesial vision for the Missionary Baptist
congregation of St. Ruth. The results of the research revealed that a retrieval of servant
leadership and transformational leadership styles inspired by Christ and shaped by the
attributes and agency of the Holy Spirit could serve as a foundation for a flourishing
relational congregational polity. This combined approach to leadership reinforces the
notion that, under the guidance of the Spirit, believers are to be heirs and joint heirs in
building the kingdom based on the principles that Christ has revealed. |
