In any group setting there is a power dynamic. For any leader, there are questions to consider, such as what do we mean by power, and what is our relationship to this word? Who has more or less power? Who is leading and who is following and why? What are the sources of this perceived or real power or potential lack of power?
Navigating this well as a leader or a minister requires both an interior and exterior awareness. The interior awareness is knowing your personal relationship to power, race, gender and class. The exterior awareness is the ability to read the dynamics, to read the room and the capability to influence.
This is a large and complex topic, so on this day we want to create a safe space for Global Majority Heritage ordinands or recently ordained ministers to explore these challenges, with a particular emphasis on how to have effective conversations to deploy your leadership when the power dynamic may be challenging.
