The Holy Spirit appoints leaders in the church who are variously called bishops, overseers or elders. A church may fancy the idea that theirs is a democratic process, but it is not! The Holy Spirit and not the church is totally responsible for this task.
Luke writes, "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."1 The Holy Spirit appoints those with the necessary qualities and characteristics to lead God's people. The church's job is to be guided by that unseen yet powerful hand. What if God was one with us? Does the Holy Spirit lead and guide you, like he did St Paul?
