I appreciate the juncture of authority and trustworthiness posited here. In my ordination meeting, one pastor asked me how I would build up a congregation's trust in me, and I didn't have a great answer except 'through relationship.' I would like to revisit that question with the notion of the intersection of authority with relationships of trust. Thanks for this notion.
