tlie parents probably would not

lias always held high the stan
da rds of life as a ‘ ‘ vocation’ ',
a c a llin g from God. Hut, tlie
im p ortan t thing is "how can we
go about breaching the bar
r ie r s that now exist. Can we
look at It and say the s w ift
ness of economic change has
produced a society in which we
lack people who w ill attend to
the business of society, arxl
that these paople cannot pro
duce w ith the usual education
in the Hum anities, (h e re fo ie ,
tlie fir st step In h e iking down
o r breaking through the b a i-
rie i s which keep people from
t ie jobs tliey should and could
f i l l Is the recognition that a
general education is not good
enough. ( L e t’ s face it).
The second step in breaking
thi ough to Jobs of tlie future
is to recognize tie technical
nature of social leadership In
any of its vai ie tn -, ( i e.'igious,
econom ic, gover nmental etc.).
L e t us face tlie fact that grad
uates of schools oi Theology
often do not know how to lead
then congregations effective
ly . (T h is has been generally
adm itted in recent studies of
A m e r ic a n T h e o lo g ic a l
Schools). It m ust also be ad
m itted that with few excep
tions, laboi leaders lack the
advantage oi special tra in in g
fo r th e ir demanding tasks. Not
many business managers arxl
Cooperation executives have
had
tlie special tra in in g ,
e ith e r.
Look around your
com m unities and note who
holds tlie resp on siblity fo r so
c ia l leadership. We usually
find positions of power and
re sp o n sib ility held by person
lacking the social s k ills the Job
demands, they do however,
liave a p ra ctical grasp fo r
gaining p o litic a l power, pe rse
( see M aw ln’ s Rapid Social
Change).
The th ird step is breaking
down b a rrie rs to an adequately
trained social leader ship. Es
tablish program s to f it the
need. T his gets Into the need
of m otivating our youn„- peo
ple to get tlie kinds of education
they need and society needs
them to have. When you are
asked to learn something you
cannot use, what happens? You
tur n off, young people drop out
of school.
In short, we need to become
convinced that technical s k ills
in social leadership is of equal
im portance w ith s k ills in
science and in du stry. In our
churches and among our edu
cators we m ust bring our best
minds to face tills ta sk...........
