Why Is That?
Sunday, June 10th, 2007I see a trend that is intriguing and disturbing on a few fronts. There is a group of church music leaders who are about 45 years old and older who are having trouble continuing in their ministries. They are being moved out, in some cases, for leaders on the other end of the age spectrum who are not as” well-trained,” but have some characteristics of heartfelt leadership that the older leaders don’t have. Why is that? It seems difficult to find a combination of skill and heart both in one person. Churches have limited resources and as a result are forced into choices between one or the other. When that happens, age and experience seems to lose. Why is that?
Jubal, responses to this question will be interesting, won’t they?
