Despite their best intentions, groups within a church can split into factions, sometimes with the pastor or priest on one side of the rupture. The congregation can get stuck, outreach can suffer, and members can leave--taking their time, talents, and tithes with them.
Learn how leaders in your own church can be trained to mend the fractures.
Although we had no trouble exchanging donkeys for SUVs and stone tablets for ipads, we are still using last century's tools for this century's problems. Psychology has made significant advances. This book translates cutting-edge human systems research into warm words for a religious or spiritual community offering transformation for the souls in your sanctuaries.
Bring fresh wisdom into your congregation.
Members will become more resilient, groups will integrate differences on an unprecedented level, and you'll find creative solutions that will move your congregation forward. Your membership will gain skills that will serve all of you-not just in your sanctuaries, but in your homes and families.
Herein lies a path to fulfillment.
Anne Katherine's books include the best-sellers Boundaries, Where You End and I Begin; Where to Draw the Line; When Misery is Company; Your Appetite Switch; Lick It!; and Anatomy of a Food Addiction, 11 books in all.
