Steve Gregg Responds to Bart Ehrman
Some Assembly Required - Organic Church Forum
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg, an experienced pastor and speaker, discussed the challenges associated with establishing churches and the value of an organic gathering of people without any formal leadership or creeds. In his talk, he emphasized the importance of unity over uniformity in an organic church setting and the dangers of institutionalization and politicalization of the church, which can lead to power struggles among leaders and a departure from the servant leadership model promoted by Jesus. He further argues that true spiritual leaders do not require a title, but rather should be recognized by the family and their adherence to the Word of God.
