Cults and culture

Dan Edelen thinks ambition and the culture of the self-made-man hurt church leadership in the United States:

It seems to me that a good many churches out there are cults. Not like Jehovah’s Witnesses, but cults of personality. They revolve around a few dynamic individuals. Should something happen to those dynamic individuals…well, you can see the handwriting forming on the wall.

It should never be that way.

Amen. Dan, by the way, goes on to say how it should be (Here's a clue: it has something to do with crosses).
