As a follow-up to the scenario described in the first discussion, consider how you might lead a group of leaders in a church to choose a new pastor. 

• Fully discuss the following:
  • Describe what policies could be put in place to make the church less reliant upon personality-driven approaches to church growth.
  • Give a list of 5 key characteristics that would be expected in a new pastor.
  • Response posts should further the discussion by asking clarifying questions and sharing alternative views.

Support your work with scholarly academic resources, textbooks, or other sources provided.  Quoting or paraphrasing from any source in discussion posts requires APA format by including an in-text citation and listing the reference at the end of the post.
