Frank: Isn’t that the POW?
Hawkeye: That’s right. He’s in my c-o-t.
Frank: I
ordered him shipped out. What’s he doing here?
Hawkeye: Easy Frank. Henry okayed it. He’s not taking up anybody’s space but
mine. Why don’t you buzz off,
Frank? Go review your hypocritical oath.
When a North Korean
POW arrives wounded and in need of blood, Hawkeye discovers that Frank Burns is
the only person in camp with the same blood type. Frank expresses his disapproval of the 4077
caring for the enemy and tries to have him shipped out, while Hawkeye and Trapper
arrange for a midnight caper to swipe a pint of blood from Frank.
Hypocrisy is the
ugly side of humanity where stated values and beliefs are out of alignment with
actual behaviour. It is one of the
biggest challenges of my leadership to discern what is real when the face of
the people I lead hides a contradicting attitude of the heart. It is also a big challenge for the Church, as
hypocrisy is one of the biggest accusations that are levelled against the body of
Christ. Christian leaders have the enormous
task of not only setting an example after Christ of authentic leadership, but
to recreate a culture in the Church where what we believe consistently defines
the way we behave. While the Church may
be the context for my leadership, authenticity and integrity are coveted values
in every arena of leadership.
