This week Ernie turns the tables and offers up a critique of David's style of leadership.  David defends his approach based on its effectiveness, and the fact that he doesn't find Ernie's alternatives particularly compelling.  This seems to mark the end of their two-week experiment of David leading the meetings, especially given how Ernie overrode David's decision to call out Bill's negativity last Tuesday. 

In a surprise twist, though, Ernie invoked Matthew 18 and suggested they bring in Janet to mediate. David objected to characterizing their disagreement as "sin".  Ernie acknowledged that most people didn't share his positive view of sin, but suggested (and David accepted) labeling it a "spiritual" issue -- to distinguish from a problem to be solved via merely human efforts.

Stay tuned to find out what happens next!
