Hello Cheryl!
I just discovered this community and am so thrilled. I wanted to make a comment regarding the first comment to this post:

“I do not think authoritarian leadership means there will be abuse, but I think it greatly increases the chances. It depends on the authoritarian leader using their power for good. The only one I can trust to do that consistently is God.”

One thing I am learning –open to correction :-)– is that there is a distinction between authoritarian and authoritative. Personally, I would be very interested in hearing of an example where authoritarianism did NOT lead to abuse in some form. Maybe this is purely hermeneutics; it is something I am very interested in myself and look forward to further commentary.

Thank you for providing this place!
