"As churches across the country become more mission-oriented, there are many informal discussions around the question of whether the ordained minister should not earn his living in a secular calling and participate as anyone else in the life of the church...but the new shaping of the church's life to the needs of the world is going to call for, not less leadership, but a different kind of leadership.  The church is going to be vastly limited in what it can do, if there are not those who can give all their waking hours to building the structures that will call forth the gifts of the laity and equip them for their ministry as pastors and teachers and healers and prophets."
