Qualifications of
Christian Leadership
Sermon Preached By Rt. Rev. Thomas
F. Gailor, D. I)., Bishop of Tennessee,
at Consecration of Bishop Denhy.
"I could wish that myself werei
anathema from Christ for my breth
ren, my kinsmen in the flesh. (Ro
mans ix:3.)
The love of one's own race and loy
alty to its welfare is a primordial in
stinct implanted in us bj God.
St. Paul, who more than jjny other
man, was God’s instrument in the
founding of the Christian church, who j
for that reason was hated by the
Jews and made the victim of their re
| lentless persecution and calumny, nev
er wavered for a moment in his love
and in his loyal effort for what he
believed was the best interest of Is
rael. The true Israel, he said, has
not been discredited nor abandoned,
hut has become complete in Jesus
Christ. So in this epistle his heart I
yearns for his own people scattered
throughout the empire, oppressed, de
spised and hating Roman and Chris
j tian with spiritual pride and exclu
j sive bigotry, and he breaks out in the
■ passionate appeal, “I could wish my
i self accursed from Christ for their
i sake.’’ “My heart’s desire and prayer
j for Israel is that they might be saved,”]
I and he concludes with the vehement
j assertion, “I know all Israel shall be
saved.” This is the way in which
the Apostle to the Gentiles loved his
own people, and though he lived for
Christ, suffered for Christ and died
for Christ, he was, first, last and all
the.time a Hebrew of the Hebrews,
a Jew in every beat of his heart and
every thought of his mind.
We are assembled here today to
j consecrate a Bishop, a leader ami
overseer in the church, who shall de
vote himself exclusively to work
among his own people and give his
j life and thought to the moral and
spiritual uplift of the Negro race.
There is no nobler nor truer dedica
j tion of a man’s life than that unselfish
] service in the name and faith of Christ
to his own kindred and people; and it
marks an epoch in the history of the
American Episcopal Church, when
leadership so important and so sig
| nifiennt is entrusted to one of its own
! Negro priests. Its importance cannot
easily be overestimated.
“There are now about 10,000,000 peo
ple of Negro blood in the United
States,” Bishop Gailor sa d. “Under
the federal constitution they are eli
gible to all the privileges of citizen
ship and are guaranteed the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness. During the past fifty years,
with the encouragement and assist
ance of the white people, many in
dividuals of the race have shown
marked ability to take advantage of
the opportunities which our American
democracy has afforded them. Many
thousand acres of land are owned by
Negroes; many financial institutions
are controlled by them; many schools
J and colleges are administered by them.
And yet, as a race, the Negro in
; America has still great need of direc
tion and leadership.
“According to Bishop Thirkield, at
one time president of Howard univer
sity, the Negro death rate is twice as
high as that of the whites, and the
death rate from tuberculosis three
times as great; and there is a low
moral .\undard, and ignorance and im
providence arc prevalent among the
masses. According to the last census
report not more than 3,745,538 belong
to any Christian denomination. That
leaves more than fi,000,000 who are
unchurched. Certainly here is a call
to leadership and direction which it
were treason to Christianity to ig
nore.”
What, then are the qualifications
for Christian leadership? The*, are
four, viz.-:
1. A leader must have a clear con
viction in his own mind of the goal to
wards which he is leading his follow
ers.
2. He must have a clear and definite
conviction of the means and method
whereby that goal is to be obtained.
3. He must be endowed with sym
pathy to know and understand his fel
low men.
4. He must have power of will and
force of personal character.
These are the qualifications of a
leader in any kind of movement,
whether in war or peace; hut we are
speaking now more especially of
Christian leadership and therefore we
may venture to define more specifical
ly what these qualifications mean as
ideals to be aspired after by a bishop
in the Church of God.
1. First of all. then, a leader must
know and-be able to declare the na
ture of the goal to which he desires to
direct men. To St. Paul that goal was
salvation in Jesus Christ, the de/elop
ment of moral and spiritual character
by the power of the spirit after the
type and model of the perfect man. All
the money, all the lands, all the wealth
of the world, nay, all the trained intel
ligence with the widest knowledge of
scientific facts and methods, will not
save a people unless they have morai
and spiritual character. This is the
lesson of the Kihle everywhere, of the
Old Testament, of the New Testament,
and salvation in Christ is the attain
ment of moral and spiritual charac
ter. The Germans have taught us, if
we did not realize it before, that intel
lectual efficiency without moral prin
ciple is the attribute of the Prince of
Devils. It is character, not mere in
telligence nor brute courage, that-is
going to win this war.
The first qualification of leadership
is a sure conviction of whither the
leader wishes to go and tin goal; the
end of Christian leadership is the at
tainment of moral and spiritual char
acter in the power and spirit of Christ.
2. And the second qualification of
leadership is a clear conviction of the
truest and surest method and means
by which this goal can be reached, and
the Bible leaves us no room to doubt
about that. St. Paul says to the young
bishop whom he placed at Ephesus:
“Give attendance to reading, to ex
hortation, to doctrjne.” A bishop must
“be apt to teach.” “Hold fast the form
of sound words.” And to the bishop
he left at Crete he says: “Speak thou
the things that become sound doctrine.
Speak and exhort and rebuke with all
authority.” That means preaching and
teaching the faith that has been hand
ed down to us.
But there is something more than
preaching necessary. “By grace he are
saved through faith.” The apostle
says: "Stir up the gift of grace that is
in thee,” for we are not only ambassa
dors of Christ, hut “I could wish that
but stewards of the mysteries of God.”
The purpose of Christian leadership is
not merely that we should hear about
Christ, but that we should be joined
to Christ, not merely that we should
know the good news of redemption,
but that we should be partakers of the
life of the redeemer; not merely that
we should have aroused in us the feel
ing of need and the desire for help,
but that we should actually receive
within ourselves that power that over
comes evil and builds up character.
So Christianity is more than the
preaching of doctrine. It is the com
munication of a new life; it is a sac
ramental system. When St. Peter
preached to the people on the day of
Pentecost they were “pricked at the
heart”—they were, as we say, con
verted, but St. Peter told them that
was not enough. They must repent
and be baptized. So some years after
wards when St. Peter went to Samaria
and found those who had been bap
tized he completed their baptism by
the laying on of hands. And from
that day until this ministers of the
Christian church have been no* only
preachers of the word, but ministers
of the sacraments of baptism, confir
mation and holy communion. And
from that day to this church has been
what the prayer book calls “The
Church Militant,” an army in the field,
trained and equipped to fight for
truth and goodness, to overcome er
ror and unrighteousness. And that
implies organization and discipline. It
implies authority and those who are
commissioned to exercise it. It im
plies sacraments and those who are
commissioned to administer them—
obedience to orders and the reign of
law. In our view of it, according to
the teaching of scripture, the goal
which the Christian leader must have
clear before his mind is the attainment
of Christian character; and the means
by which that is to be achieved is
obedience to the doctrine and the rev
erent use of the sacraments which
Christ has ordained.
III. The third qualification for
leadership is sympathy. A leader
must know his people and understand
them, go in and rut among them, and
sympathize with them in their weak
nesses and strength, their ideals ami
hopes. The intelligent sympathy of a
Christian leafier s the greatest powei
that God can give a man for the work
of helping and saving souls and the
lack of it has often wrecked and ruined
the career of men of great ability and
genius. I remember reading the words
of,an eminent historian who said that
the greatest social regeneration that
was ever wrought since Christianity
came into the world was accompl'shcd
by an humble-minded man whose chief
distinction was his abounding sym
pathy as a sincere servant of Jesus
Christ, anj) the man’s name was St.
Francis and he was born in a little
Italian town called Assisi. St. Fran
cis, in a wild and turbulent age, sim
ply tried to live and act like Christ.
He .■-aw Christ on earth in man and
^ast and flower, and he was a poet
who: e poetry expressed itself not in
verse, but in character.” He knew not
so much the doctrine as the person
of Christ and spoke only of Christ’s
lave. He opposed no man, he de
nounced nothing, he framed no sys
tem, he did not wish to found an order
of monks. He had no interest in being
imitated. He merely wished to live
his life as he conceived it, wandering
about without money or possessions so
that he might be free from care. And
yet that life of his changed the world
in which he lived, fascinated and com
pelled the rudest men of a barbarous
age, created art, revived literature,
awakened learning, remade society. It
was the power of sympathy in the |
name and faith of Jesus Christ.
IV. And the fourth qualification of
leadership is that grace of God, call
it what you please, force of will, sense
of responsibility, resolute optimism
which comes from the power of faith.
It was this that enabled St. Paul
to fight the good fight and to keep
the faith even unto death, though his
own people misunderstood and perse
cuted him, though the Romans im
prisoned him. “Woe to me,” he said,
“If 1 preach not the gospel and ‘Israel
