Leadership Does Not Always Agree with Consensus

Several days ago, we listened to De Lay Rey, the story of a general in the Boer Wars.  By clicking on the link, you will see the translation of the story.  What do you think the story is telling us to do?


John Lewis is another leader with a totally different style than De Lay Rey.  Listen to just the first 7 minutes of his story and how his faith informed his choices.


It's tough to know where to stand.  Think about the two stories above, and then check your moral compass with this reflection.


Homework:   Make a Venn diagram that compares the two heroes.  What things do they share in common?  What is different?  How did each show leadership?  Who were the people with whom they had consensus?  Who were the people with whom they did NOT have consensus?
