Training is for Dogs, Education is for People

Here’s an idea suggested by Jack Mitchell, a store owner who has teamed up with a look of sales associates to build a quality clothing store.  He says, “training is for dogs, education is for people.”  I think the point that he makes for educating his associates in business, applies to the public sector and churches as well.  People who work and volunteer in church are vital assets who have a lot to offer the Body of Christ.  All deserve respectful education and should be offered helpful knowledge to be able to serve more effective.  A deep admiration for the skills, opinions and unique gifts of all servants working on our various boards and committee is fundamental to our calling.
