It occurs to me as well that, like anything created for good, its very openness makes it vulnerable to those who would co-opt for their own needs. Hence clergy and institutional abuses of power, as well as lay leaders who see a place to pursue an agenda in a "community of equals" and derail the organization for their own purposes in the meantime. It's the coexitence of "power within" types versus "power over" types who hide beneath the guise of outspoken "faith." I suspect the day will come when I will choose to be in the pew instead of to lead, because the old gal is too good for her own good, and thus for the likes of me.
