Abstract
The church just like every other formal organization, appreciates the relationship that exist between the members and the priest(s). This relationship matters in the sense that the members and the priest(s) form a leadership dynamic that affects the work and mission of the church. Regrettably today, the way in which the members and the priest(s) of a local congregation interacts is often times characterized by mistrust, anxiety, and hurtful behaviour.
Monocracy is a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition). It is a means by which the power or the dominion of many is not recognised, and/or fail to participate in power directly or representatively.
