| Summary: | Recent writings by Emanuel Prinz and Alison Goldhor have sought to develop a ‘blueprint’ for mission trainers on the basis of personality traits and spiritual competencies of movement catalysts. This article re-examines the basis on which such assertions are made, not only in terms of questionable methodology but also in the extent to which Western-based psychological models are relevant for other cultural contexts. It also discusses the dangers of toxic leadership and suggests some biblically based criteria for identifying such people. |
