- When you hear or use the word “Church,” what image or idea do you have in your mind? Whom or what does it include?
The idea of family, because all Christ’s followers are children of the same God.
- Your main experience of the church:
As a loving family of faith led by Christ-like servant leaders who seek the good of the least, and not power;
- How do you see church leadership?
These two kinds of leadership are present in the Church. there is those who listen and those who want only to exercise power over the others.
I know a priest who used to listen carefully to the lay catechists before taking any decisions. Another priest would do everything by himself without taking in consideration the people around. Once this person told me the people around respect only those who have a big role in the community; to be a simple religious without a post (rector, administrator, etc.) means to be no one.
