Chris.
The Lord holds the human leaders of the Church in His Hand. This should give confidence and assurance to every Church Leader who is living in the Light of God. Church Leadership can often be lonely and sometimes by necessity even secretive. The Leaders are God's under-shepherds and their decision and actions are so important. Let us Pray for the human leaders of the Church.
