    WBC Journal Issue 2 February 2020 What kind of leaders does The Salvation Army need to lead its mission in the United Kingdom in the twenty-first century? By Michael Hutchings Abstract This exploration of leadership begins with an analysis of a Pauline perspective on Christian leadership, beginning with the Pastoral Epistles, under the themes of Knowing, Being and Doing. Developing Salvation Army perspectives on leadership are explored and various practical and ecclesiological tensions are identified. An integrated response to the research question begins by summarising of the contemporary mission landscape and acknowledging that The Salvation Army has experienced a period of decline. A number of themes are explored in relation to the required attitudes and activities of contemporary Salvationist leaders. Conclusions demonstrate the need to faithfully re-imagine leadership while acknowledging tensions surrounding the leadership task and remaining true to scripture and the essence of the Army. Introduction In 2013, Commissioner André Cox delivered the keynote address to the Called and Commissioned International Conference on the Training of Cadets. Cox (2014:16) argued that ‘effective leadership is essential if The Salvation Army is to continue fulfilling its unique mission effectively’. He also asked, ‘What kind of leaders do we need to be producing?’ (2014:15). This question, which conflates issues of identity, mission and leadership, is explored in this paper. The research explores this question in terms of officership at corps level and the aim is to identify characteristic attitudes and activities of officers as leaders of twenty- first-century mission; and to acknowledge points of tension which, left unaddressed, could present barriers to effective spiritual leadership in the Army.
