Innovations in Governance
Innovations in Governance
networks and apostles
This chapter describes in detail the governance structures of INC Christianity and how it differs from the governance structures of religious groups organized around congregations and denominations. The chapter describes what many in INC groups call “apostolic leadership,” which refers to dynamic individuals who operate independently of any formal organization or bureaucratic authority structure. We draw on our extensive in-depth case studies to illustrate the various network configurations and governance structures of INC leaders and groups. We end the chapter by exploring how the rise of network forms of governance in religion parallel network governance in the global capitalist economy.
