Thinking Back on Christ the King: Servant Leadership

Very briefly as this has been a very long day already... Yesterday, the Church celebrated the feast of Christ the King, and I intend to reflect on the theme of Servant Leadership as the week goes on. I think of this week as a kind of liminal or transitional space between the end of Ordinary Time and the beginning of Advent this upcoming Sunday. By servant leadership, I am referring to a notion developed by Robert Greenleaf in his book by the same title: that the essence of leadership is about a deeply principled service of one's followers

The theme of servant leadership as a way of thinking about Christ's kingship and our own is both inspiring and challenging to me.
