| Summary: | Today, a wave of change is on the horizon. It manifests itself in various ways. It is causing a radical break with our old way of life and introducing a totally new one. It is in this troubled world that the church will live or die. The current socio-political situation places decisive responsibility upon the shoulders of the church leaders. At the same time, the church is developing ever deeper concerns and suffering loss of membership. Some churches are even being forced to close. There are many reasons for these developments, but lack of leadership is one of the most prominent among them. The purpose of this book is to outline new thinking on church leadership and thereby enhance existing leadership to help restore the church. Second, it aims to help lay leaders work effectively with pastors and seminarians. This book focuses on the moral concerns associated with leadership rather than on insensibility, on spiritual awakening rather than on the status quo, and on ethically responsible action rather than mere table talk. |
