Exploring the idea

Our title, The First Board Meeting, is a fun way of saying that this meeting has all of the appearances of a modern-day board meeting about a mission-critical topic. It really is a governance meeting of some sort, in that the Council members were credible and accepted leaders (authorities) for the young Christian church.

That said…

• What elements of this meeting stand out as positive templates and principles for modern ministry board meetings?
• How confident can we be, based on what we observe in this passage, that governance (as it should be) has Biblical roots?
• Other observations and comments?
