Many fall for the temptation to try to steer a Church -- not now in its physical form (buildings, staff, savings, and so on), but in its spiritual form (ideology, ethos, emphasis, and so on). While it is good for a minister to have solid beliefs, and a certain line, the rest is for the Holy Spirit to do. One can't control the spiritual Body. One needs to let the Spirit develop the Body -- and keep interventions to the minimum. OBSERVATION: It is interesting how many principles in politics -- such as this -- derive from the Church.
