Abstract

Perhaps, then, we not only need to revisit the significance of melancholy for shaping faithful leadership, but also to look again at sources that cultivate faithful leadership. Rather than lamenting our lack of Lincolns, we are called to engage in practices of faithful discipleship that will, over time, raise up leaders who—because they are marked by the sign of the cross—can provide the leadership needed in both the church and the world.
