{"title":"Mission Leadership Development in the Chinese Adventist Church: Reflections in the Light of Traditional Chinese Philosophies of Leadership","authors":"Ep","doi":"10.32597/jams/vol17/iss1/5/","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32597/jams/vol17/iss1/5/","url":null,"abstract":"Different schools of thought have emphasized multiples aspects of leadership, preeminently in the western hemisphere for the last decades (Bennis 1959; Greenleaf 1977; Malphus 2003). As China more decisively steps into the global arena through internationalization of its economy and political influence, scholars are only scratching the surface in exploring the pluralistic styles of Chinese indigenous leadership in both national and international organizations where the Chinese play significant leadership roles (Chen and Lee 2008: xv; Zhang, Chen, and Chen, and Ang 2014). Contextual leadership is essential for the healthy development of any organization and that is equally true when it comes to leadership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in China. As Ma and Tsui denote, “traditional philosophical and cultural roots influence the thought patterns and behaviors of all citizens in a community including its leaders. Hence, leadership practices would reflect unique cultural idiosyncrasies even . . . in a rapidly changing context” such as contemporary China (2015:13). Although western leadership schools of thought have increasingly been studied in Chinese academia and their models applied in organizational settings throughout China since the 1980s, there are still several cultural features from traditional Chinese leadership philosophies playing a significant role in the contemporary Chinese leadership landscape. This article explores cultural leadership aspects among the Seventh-day Adventist Church in China, and how those traits impact the church missiologically, followed by a brief summary of strategies for effective mission leadership development.","PeriodicalId":402825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventist Mission Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130751140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His death was unexpected, and her grieving family was torn over what could seem a simple dilemma: should they fulfill his wish of going to Mecca for pilgrimage or honor his memory by giving money to the poor? The family was divided. “What does our religion say?” they wanted to know. I met Samia on her way back from Al-Azhar where she had gone to consult the opinion of an expert on Islamic law who could issue her a fatwa to settle the matter. The Mufti, a highly trained scholar in legal matters, ruled that according to the Shaffi school (prevalent in Egypt), it is preferable to look after the living rather than investing in the dead (In Sunni Islam, there are four schools of interpretation of Islamic law: Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafii, and Maliki). Samia left the place with peace; now she knew what to do! Samia and millions of Muslims seek concrete answers in their faith. These are more than matters of personal decision left to the conscientious efforts of individual believers. In traditional Islamic communities, such as the ones found in the Middle East, there is a sense of interconnectedness with the past. No problem is completely new; therefore, past guidance can help provide solutions to modern problems. Second, there is a sense of belonging to a community upon which God has bestowed wisdom through its laws which offers a pool of right choices. Samia could have consulted the qualified opinion of another legal expert from another school of law who perhaps would have ruled in favor of the hajj, but if this had been the case, Samia would still have been at peace, knowing that going on a pilgrimage on behalf of her deceased GPP and her husband have been involved in ministry with Muslims people in various countries for the past 12 years. They both share a strong passion for God’s people among Muslims and for the amazing God that is drawing Muslims to himself in new ways.","PeriodicalId":402825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventist Mission Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115719928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
