Anglican Elders: Locally Shared Pastoral Leadership in English Anglican Churches (Revised Edition)
Anglican Elders: Locally Shared Pastoral Leadership in English Anglican Churches (Revised Edition)
Anglican polity has traditionally favoured the incumbent as sole elder over a congregation. Biblical and missional imperatives press for eldership to be plural but how can this be done within an Anglican setting?
This study explores the biblical and historical background to plural eldership or locally shared pastoral leadership. It goes on to describe the experience of nine UK Anglican pastors who have established a team that functions as a plural eldership. While the focus is on the church’s ministry of making disciples, lessons are drawn for other areas of pastoral leadership.
The revised and expanded edition includes additional chapters on the role of women and on the place of power in pastoral ministry.
