| Summary: | By tracing the background of three kinds of early Christian leadership offices that appeared in Ephesus in the second century, and by examining what issues a contemporary writer made about them, propositions about the emergence of office charisma are derived. External relations appear to result in the merging of different leadership structures. Subgroupl/subgroup relations help consolidate pre-existing offices. Mediating structures are critical to the transformation of personal charisma into office charisma. And an involvement of office holders in some primary activity of a group makes any claim of an office salient to group members. |
