Driscoll’s Mars Hill and Dunkle’s GTS alike highlight the rigidity of institutional hierarchies, the abandon with which various forms of patriarchal privilege continue to be enacted, and opaque decision making and abusive leadership practices that have long been morally problematic, spiritual debilitating, and functionally ineffective. If challenges to these structures in religious institutions at opposite ends of the spectrum don’t point to the end of the Church, they certainly suggest a principled rejection of traditional modes of religious authority and leadership and a rebuke of abuses of the same that may ultimately change the Church as we know it. (Or at least one can hope as much.) Amen.
