Week 4: Written Assignment:
Write a 1000-word paper on the following topics:
In traditional western denominations, the focus of authority is ordinarily found in
groups (deacon boards, elders boards, boards of trustees, committees, presbyteries,
etc., or in congressional rule/voting). In new apostolic churches, the focus of
authority is on individuals. In these churches, an apostle is the leader of the church
instead of an employee of the church.
Having said that, how do you personally understand and reconcile (compare and
contrast your reflection) the differences between apostolic leadership/authority
(where the authority rests on the individual) and traditional western democratic
forms of leadership/authority (deacon boards, elders boards, boards of trustees,
committees, presbyteries, etc., or in congressional rule/voting). Focus on the two
key terms, “individual authority,” and “group authority” and what do you base your
understanding on? (i.e. tradition, scripture, experience, or other)
What are some of the advantages of an apostle leading the church and what are
some of your concerns? How can these concerns be addressed in light of what
scripture says about apostles
