Tao of Leadership

I’ve been staying with the Jesus People (JPUSA) this week and the other night we got into a really great conversation about the Tao Te Ching which has some amazing passages in it. A guy there told me the Tao Te Ching one of the primary things that led him to Christ. I’ve also read parts of a book called the Christ the Eternal Tao which is a really interesting take on Jesus from an Eastern Orthodox perspective. Last week Len over at Next Reformation posted a really interesting passage from the Tao Te Ching. I thought you all might like it. Let me know what you think. Personally I think it’s valuable to study some of the theology of the east. As Len commented on the text ” it comes from an eastern context… so did Jesus.” So much of what we know of Jesus comes through the lense of Greek philosophy. To see Jesus more clearly I believe we are sometimes led to view him through other lenses. I do think this text is an example of truth we can embrace.
