- Title
Preacher, Teacher, Pastor, and Elder as Authorities in the Church: McClendon's Portrayal of God's Authority and Canadian Mennonite Brethren.
- Authors
Heidebrecht, Doug
- Abstract
This article explores how God's ultimate authority is related to the various proximate or delegated authorities recognised within the Christian community. James Wm. McClendon Jr.'s Trinitarian portrayal of the interactive authority of God's love at work in human experience, Jesus Christ's redemptive authority revealed in the written Scripture, and the unitive authority of the Spirit reflected in the community is used as a lens to examine the nature of church leaders' authority (preachers and teachers, pastors and elders) within the context of Canadian Mennonite Brethren churches.
