A word from the Chair of MODEM on 101 Great Ideas for Growing Healthy Churches

ELIZABETH WELCH

101 Great Ideas marks a development from MODEM’s previous books on leadership and management in that it offers short and focused pieces that will be easily accessible for a quick look in the face of particular issues that come up in a church’s life.

It has a great wealth and variety of contributors. Some write from their ‘hands on’ experience of grappling with leadership issues within the church over many years. Others are regional and national church leaders. Some have extensive academic experience in writing and speaking on leadership and management, both in Britain and internationally. Others have a background in business or the voluntary sector. One of the advantages of this book is that the contributors represent a range of different Christian traditions. This brings about a mix of different approaches and a variety of insights which can be helpful across a spectrum of different situations.

Approaches to leadership and management in the churches arise out of a variety of different theological perspectives, balancing between more personal and more conciliar approaches. Each approach is shaped by a deep sense of the Trinitarian God who calls us into being and, in Christ, calls us to share in the work of his kingdom in the world. Attentiveness to God’s world and the insights gained from a wide range of thinking about the way in which organizations are shaped and developed, is also helpful in shaping the present-day organizational realities СКАЧАТЬ
