Links for Tuesday, Nov. 29th

Here are some articles that I found of interest that I wanted to share:

• John Stanko has two great book reviews that are worth the time to read. The first is a review of Greenleaf's The Power of Servant-Leadership. The second is a review of Parker Palmer's A Hidden Wholeness. Both are wonderful reviews; and if either of these books are not on your shelf, please put them near the top of your Christmas wish-list!
• A nice article in The Birmingham News about the expectation voters have that the city's elected officials be servant-leaders.
• A pastor writes about his disillusionment with church leaders, particularily those who you find on television. He includes a great story of meeting a Bishop from Kenya who carried his bags when he arrived in Nairobi and compares his actions with those of some mega-church pastors.
• Last, Edwin Robinson was recently inaugurated as MidAmerican Nazarene University's fourth president. His inagural address was titled: "The President as Servant-Leader." You can find both the article and the full text of his speech here.
