Check out the great thinking and shared wisdom from Drew on eldering in a decentralized movement. Although it’s probably premature to call Kaleo a movement, the vision and movement DNA are certainly present. We are hopeful that similar DNA and vision are building in ACL to contribute to a movement in Austin.

Primer on Triperspectival Leadership
These guys offer a collection of audio and articles on Triperspectival Leadership as advocated by Drew Goodmanson and David Fairchild. This approach to church and to leadership takes the perspectivalism of John Frame and Vern Poythress and applies it to ecclesiology. Regarding leadership, the prophet, priest, & king offices of Christ and applied to functional and pastoral leadership roles in the missional church. Prophet is teacher/preacher. Priest is pastor/counselor. King is administrator/XP.
I admire Drew and David’s hard thinking and missional leading, and was blessed by their generous, Jesus like spirit when I was in San Diego earlier this summer. I am encoruaged to be in parntership in the gospel with them. This approach to ecclesiology is worth considering and has its strengths and weaknesses. Enjoy.
