How did leaders in scripture address God’s people to talk to them about difficult issues?
In the leaders came together to discuss how to handle the issues that stemmed from Jew/Gentile relations in the church.
After discussion and coming to a conclusion the leaders sent leaders with a letter to share the conclusion with the believers.
The conclusion promoted peace between the Jews and Gentiles.

Have the stance that we hold on certain issues written out and accessible to people who are going to lead (such as small group leaders, interns, class teachers, etc.)?
