    What Church is he a part of?

    Interesting to hear a theologian articulate the work of pastoral leadership. I think his insights can resonate in my world (non-denomination, evangelical) with a little translation. We can get so wrapped up in leadership ideas we forget about the people who helped to shape us. Leadership without a community is a "perverse" idea... quite an claim...

    He also makes me wonder this: by his standards of lying (proposing to know the truth even when we don't know what's going on), how often do pastors lie?

    Steve,
    Hauerwas is a part of the United Methodist Church (or at least he was when I had him as a prof).
