They empower people to think and express their best thoughts. This style is more democratic and uses influence to move a group in a certain direction. There is a commitment to listening, understanding, and arriving at consensus. Leaders often generate conflict. People with strong egos and convictions can intensify conflict.
Theological issues create tension in the church.
Evangelicals have convictions, and we claim to arrive at our theological convictions from the Scriptures. But we still have tension over interpreting Scripture, the role of the Holy Spirit, the meaning and mode of baptism, the role of women in ministry, forms of worship and music, which version of the Bible to use, positions on the End Times, and other issues. There is too much tension in the church today. We must learn to live together in community. And the best way to do that is to consider what God says about how people should relate to each other.
