Abstract
What is pastoral leadership? How is, and can, pastoral leadership be embodied in the Church today? Who can and should participate in reflections on these questions? While engaging in a course on pastoral leadership, with the support of the professor, an idea arose to write a letter to the Church following the patterns of the Epistles in the Bible. The goal was to create something that could be read and studied by anyone, while ensuring that the academic rigour behind the contents was made available via the footnotes. The letter is intentionally written in the style of the Epistles, and references Biblical texts with quotations from the NRSV. It is hoped that those who read this letter might engage in further reflection on what it means to be Church today and how people of faith can be leaders in embodying our faith and transforming the world.
