Leadership

Harvey Cox on Church and Ministry

By Rowland Croucher and others ⋅ November 16, 2004 ⋅ Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

Read this today in an old Expository Times (5 Feb. 1970):

In the NT there is no separate priesthood in the Church, perhaps no ‘ordained ministry’ in our sense of the term. Is this the way for the Church today? At any rate the author (Harvey Cox, in God’s Revelation and Man’s Responsibility) pleads “Let us have done with the title Reverend, which (besides being non-Biblical) claims a distinction to which we have no right… Radical steps are needed to create a *total* ministry, not simply a ministerial elite.”

See http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/11536.htm for my (similar) take on the topic of clericalism.
