We should feel no need to make sure that leaders see everything the way we do. We all have our own amount of "play in the wheel" when it comes to peripheral doctrines and thoughts. We should allow each other room to be who we are and not demand that everyone else be a "Mini Me". After all... what he believes now is part of the path that took me to what I believe now. What if I had been attacked on my journey? Give people some faith.

One thing is for sure.. if there is a saint who feels the need to make sure their leaders see everything the way they see it... that person should never, ever, ever, ever , ever be in leadership.
They will kill more than they save.

Right you are!

Example???
I have been in church all of my life, and I can't think of a time when I have ever went to the man of God and actually questioned his decision about something. I HAVE questioned my present pastor quite extensively about his BELIEFs on certain subjects- but, never a decision.
