"Leadership in the Church has to be both missionary and pastoral. The separation of these from one another us always a distortion of churchmanship. They are one insofar as they are rooted in something still more fundamental, in discipleship, in following Jesus along the way of the cross in such a way that those whom he calls may be enabled to follow too, and that so God may be glorified in them (17:20-23)."
