| dc.description.abstract | Conflicts between clergy and lay readers are not unique to any single region or denomination but are a widespread phenomenon affecting church ministry globally. Muhanji Jones (2016) emphasizes that hierarchical structures in church leadership are a primary source of tension between priests and lay readers. In many traditional Christian denominations, there is a strict division between the clergy, who are responsible for spiritual oversight, and the laity, who assist in specific ministerial roles. The perceived power imbalance often leads to misunderstandings and conflict, which can negatively impact church operations. | |
