Empowering Congregations

Why some religious congregations flourish while others straggle along is a question addressed in this remarkable book. Congregations are communities of the devout who seek to discern and do the will of the divide, yet to accomplish this, individual members must develop empowering relationships with both the Creator and the created. This book weaves together principles gained from human development theory, quality management practice and the recovery movement and produces warm and empowering guidelines to help congregations and clergy be encouraged and, ultimately, grow in vitality, effectiveness and enjoyment.
