International Journal of Servant-Leadership
Abstract
The International Journal of Servant-Leadership exists as an echo of prophetic descant. A treble harmony playing in the ear quietly above the melody which progresses in beauty below. How does one reconcile the polarities that divide us in our daily lives, our families, organizations, and nations? The articles in this volume speak to reconciliation, and the healing power associated with greater wisdom, justice, and love. They involve a necessary embrace of duality, a return to oneness in which harmony and melody are more readily heard and embodied. The great American poet and thought leader, James Baldwin, illumined our oneness precisely at the juncture of black and white America: “Each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other—male in female, female in male, white in black, and black in white. We are a part of each other” (as cited in Styron, 1966/1992, p. 455).
