need organization
Some people
would have us go
back to the New
Testament for our
pattern of organi
zation. We cannot
quite do this, for
one important rea
son. Where in the
New Testa merit
would you dig in?
Would you take
Timothy and Titus as your guide?
There you find bishops (overseers,
superintendents) mentioned, also
elders and deacons, but you do not
find their duties laid down.
Go back into the story of Acts
and you will find a place where
elders are first mentioned in the
Christian church (11:30); go still
farther back and you come to the
first election of deacons (Acts 6).
In your first Utopian Church,
will you model it after the
three-officer plan, or two, er
one, or (going back before
Acts 6) none at aUT (Apostles,
of course, are not bow avail
able. Scholars in most churches today
axe pretty well agreed that what
we have in the New Testament is
not a rigid pattern of organization,
but rather certain principles on
which any successful church must
be built. Let us see what some of
these are.
The Job and the Man
ALL CHURCHES are agreed on
one point: A church must
have leadership. What is every
body's business is nobody's busi
ness. Some one must draw up
plans, think ahead. No organiza
tion in the world is self-starting
and self-operating, not even the
church of Christ. The early church
knew this. But they elected officers
only as the need for them arose.
In Jerusalem there was not . dea
con in the place until that emer
gency came up in the matter of
relief.
In St. Paul's first missionary
church (Acts 13, 14) he did not
get the elders first, and then
find churches for them. On the
contrary, he founded the
churches first and then ap
pointed elders for them.
It would be a good idea for a
church today to take stock of its
officers once in a while. Are they
necessary? For example, do you
elect a deacon to "take the place"
of cue who has moved away, or do
you elect a deacon to do a job that
i can't otherwise be done?
I V ' '
: Sweetness No Substitute
For Skill
1VTOT ALL CHRISTIANS are qual-
ified to hold office in the
church, and very few, if any,
would be equally good in any office.
A Sunday school superintendent,
for example, might make a poor
showing at a prayer-meeting talk.
A man who can conduct a success
ful financial campaign and keep
the church up to a high level of
generosity the year round, may not
be just the man to plan the educa
tional program. A lovely sweet
lady might turn out to be a stupid
Madam Chairman.
Paul knew all this and in -fact
Insisted on It. Each sep
arate kind of job In the church
calls for distinct qualifica
tions. Just being a good Christian was
never enough to insure a man's
(or a woman's) being a good of
ficer. '
.
Personality
AFTER ALL, however, personal
character means . more than
technical skill. A man may : have
such - flaws In his character that
his Influence does more barm than
good, so that even If he Is an ac
complished musician you ' still
would not- want him as "Minister
of Music," or even as choir-leader
A man whose own home Is
; always at sizes and sevens (as
Paul pointed eat) is a poor candi
date for any executive post in
the church. A man who can't
keep from quarreling in every
day life la no man to entrust
. with responsibility In the
church. . -J- V v-i.
A man of good character can, -and
will want to, learn the skills his
Job calls for; but a -man of sleazy
character lust does not care. Be
careful of the sort of man you
elect to office. In church or out;
for the rank and file are not going
to rise above their leaders.
