While Parish Pastoral Councils are relatively new organizations in today's Church, they have their roots in the early Church, where it was common for groups to share their leadership & their resources with the whole community.  We read a description of this leadership in the early Church: (from Acts 4: 32-35)-

"The community of believers were of one heart & one mind.  None of them ever claimed anything as his or her own:  rather everything was held in common.  Nor was there anyone needy among them, for all who owned property or houses sold them & donated the proceeds.  They used to lay them at the feet of the apostles to be distributed to everyone according to need."

At the heart of the parish is the formation of community which goes back to the roots of who we are and who we are called to be- people who share their gifts, talents & resources in order to build the Reign of God and people who lead by serving the community.
