leader as safe or good

Further to my reflection on pastor as chaos agent:

They asked of Aslan, the lion,
"Is he safe?"
Those who knew him replied,
"Safe! No, but he is good."

- CS Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia.

PS The movie, due for release Christmas 05, is being filmed in New Zealand as I blog and you read.

nice ideas, Steve. - I think I spend some of my time creating safety and some time disrupting the comfort zones. Are we allowed to do both?

yeah, i would suspect that a leader who creates safety probably then has much more space to cause good chaos.
