Tony Evans writes: "Make no mistake about it. No matter how big a church's staff may be, there is always a primary leader who has been invested by God with authority and responsibility. This leader is not a despot, and he is accountable to the body of elders...There has to be a place where the buck stops, and there has to be a leader who leads the way in formulating and implementing the church's vision..."(p. 971, Theology)
