  13. The context in which we lead …. "The argument against faith-based schools can be summed up in two words – Northern Ireland. Or perhaps one word – Glasgow." Professor A.C. Grayling, Herald, Scotland, April, 2013) Lading article: Faith schools must confront homophobia (NUT, The Independent, April 2011) Discriminatory state-funded faith schools are on the increase – receiving preferential treatment with little scrutiny( Andrew Copson, Guardian, May 2012) Faith schools are still leading the way as they dominate league tables (Mail online Decemebr 2010) Primary school league tables 2012: Faith schools account for six out of 10 top-scoring primaries (2012) Faith schools have continued to out-perform other primaries in tests for the core subjects, new data shows. (Telegraph December 2012)

  15. What are the requirements of a leader? • Leaders do what’s right even if they are alone (Noah) • Leaders embrace the unknown (Abraham) • Leaders endure in spite of circumstances (Joseph) • Leaders stick up for their people (Moses) • Leaders rule by example rather than command (Joshua) • Leaders are not afraid of giants (David) Leaders rise to the occasion (Isaiah) Leaders maintain their resolve without regard for consequences (Daniel) Leaders aren’t afraid to call out the phonies (John the Baptist) Leaders are servants (Jesus) Leaders recover from failure (Peter) Leaders are passionate for what they believe in (Paul)

  16. Servant Leadership "Good leaders must first become good servants.” Robert Greenleaf Being a leader who serves is very different from being a servant leader.” Isabel O. Lopez Whatever our career may be, true leadership means to receive power from God and to use it under Gods rule to serve people in Gods way.” Leighton Ford We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.” William Arthur Ward
