There are many good leaders in the church who give their service freely and with conviction that they are bringing about the Kingdom of God here among The People of God. On the other hand, there are many in the church who feel that there is a failure to lead in the spirit of the gospel among those who wield control. This feeling is widespread as is evidenced by the expression of these feelings. It is well known that when well-founded grievances are ignored in any group by those who have power to address them that people form themselves into many diverse smaller groups that attempt to make life better. It happened in the time of Jesus; it is happening today. It usually results in great changes taking place often at the cost of great sadness and pain. It is unnecessary especially in an institution such as the church for people to be pained and frustrated. The fixed agenda of the church is freedom, tolerance, hospitality, and loving service to one another as it is in God's House.
