That will always be a "key" word. I do think there is a paradigm shift working within the ranks of the modern church as regarding the equipping of the saints.

Let us always keep in perspective the societal norms that influence the church. It has only been in the last 20 years that the business world has moved away from a singular leadership model to any great extent also.
