But know that it all comes out of a place of deep love for God and the Church. There are inevitably things that drive us nuts about such an imperfect (i.e., human)institution. Yet if we can't observe and comment on our own foibles we're left withoutmuch hope. And anyway if God doesn't have a sense of humor, I'm hosed." For followers of Lent Madness, Tim's blog, and those who appreciate church humor and his earlier book, What Size are God's Shoes: Kids, Chaos, and the Spiritual Life

Описание: The general decline of American mainline Protestant churches today is well documented. Church redevelopment-imagining and actualizing new life for dying churches-is a productive and vital response to congregational decline, but it can be daunting. Here is guidebook for church leaders, to help them reinvigorate their churches with both practical advice and tested theory. A comprehensive case study of Beneficent Congregational Church, which successfully turned the tide and quadrupled its worship attendance, provides inspiration as well as concrete strategies for church redevelopment. The study indicates that successful and faithful church redevelopment involves a shift from a modern-patronage ministry model to a postmodern-plural ministry model. Building on current church redevelopment literature by bringing selected Biblical and theological texts into conversation with leadership concepts, systems theory, social sciences, and congregational studies, this book creates a multidisciplinary transformative conversation. The result is both strategic proposals for growing your church and a model for doing practical theology in your own ministry context. Dedicated, trained leadership in cooperation with the power of the Spirit can create the possibility of new life in dying congregations.
