		<description>Dear Clive,

The use of the word &quot;leader&quot; is quite common amongst Christians worldwide to refer to certain people who have a particular responsibility for the care and spiritual nurture of others. There are two words that are translated &quot;lead&quot; in modern versions of the Bible.

The first is προΐστημι (&lt;em&gt;prohistemi&lt;/em&gt;); it can mean either:
1) &quot;rule&quot;, &quot;direct&quot;, &quot;be at the head (of)&quot;, or
2) &quot;show concern for&quot;, &quot;care for&quot; or &quot;give aid&quot;.
It occurs in Romans 12:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:12; 1 Timothy 3:4-5, 3:12 and 5:17. In Romans 12:8 and 1 Thessalonians 5:12 it is possible that the word merely means to &quot;show concern for&quot;. But in 1 Timothy 3:4-5, 3:12 and 5:17 the word must have a sense of leadership associated with it.

The second word is ἡγέομαι (&lt;em&gt;hegeomai&lt;/em&gt;) and it occurs in Luke 22:26; Acts 15:22; Hebrews 13:7, 17 and 24 in the sense of &quot;leading&quot; or &quot;guiding&quot; in a supervisory capacity.

As far as I can tell neither of these words is used of the Holy Spirit.

Of course it would be unbiblical for somebody to use the word &quot;lead&quot; in a way contrary to the Bible. E.g. Luke 22:26 teaches that the leader must become like a servant. So if somebody used the word &quot;leader&quot; to imply an ongoing superiority, or a privileged status, etc., then it would be valid to assert that they are being &quot;unbiblical&quot;. But Clive, it is utterly ridiculous for you to suggest that simply by using the word &quot;leader&quot; / &quot;leading&quot; I have acted in an &quot;unbiblical&quot; way. I have used a biblical word, and as far as I can tell I have used it biblically.</description>

		<description>Bible study leaders? I thought the Holy Spirit was our leader, and we were mere ministers/teachers/helpers...but we&#039;re leaders! How neat, but how unbiblical!</description>
