the issue of "covering"
10-13-2006, 04:30 PM
Important point, Helena.
I would say it definitely is needed. Many very serious problems (not just in dance ministry) have resulted from people not having any effective covering. (A group of "yes men" who always agree completely with you is not in that category).
Personally, I am accountable to the leadership of my local church, but I wouldn't really regard them as covering my dance ministry. Instead, I am in relationships of mutually accountability with a number of other dance leaders. I'm also a long-standing CDF member (and committee member) and I regard that as a covering.
There are undoubtedly difficulties in getting covering for dance ministry activities that are not a local church group.
