What We Love: Reflections on Ministry, Leadership, and Mission

Book excerpt: Leadership is a quality that often goes underappreciated or unrecognised in New Zealand church life. But this is not how it should be. Leadership is a godly and biblical quality and those with such gifts are to be celebrated and cherished. This volume is a tribute to one such gifted leader, Charles Hewlett, eighth Principal of Carey Baptist College (2010-2017). Structured around the theme of "What We Love," a saying Charles would repeat often throughout his principalship, faculty and students reflect on biblical, theological, and applied themes central to Christian thought and practice today. More than an in-house tribute, this volume will be of interest and use to pastors and practitioners looking for considered reflections on ministry, leadership, and mission today.
