Sacred Treasure
- There has been much heat and hurt recently about power abuse and church ministry. It is something that I’ve been working on and engaging with for the last 10 years or so. Here are some of the better responses:
- Chuck de Groat: Narcissism is not a ‘leadership style’.
- Chris Green similarly good: ‘Leadership’ is never an excuse for egos, bullying and power.
- Speaking of heat and hurt, David French is spot on about how many Christians interact online.
- Forgot to add this to last month’s, but Amy Baik Lee wrote this marvellous reflection on the Rabbit Room about Morten Lauridsen’s sublime O Magnum Mysterium.
Topical Treasure

Thank you for this kind mention, Mark! I’m woefully behind in responding to your comment, but I think future Hutchmoot sessions on classic music would be fantastic. I don’t think I’ll ever cease to be surprised at how wide-ranging the beauty of God is.
