Comments for Fresh thoughts on leadership: Less "fixing," better principles at http://pres-outlook.net , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://pres-outlook.net Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:37:30 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://pres-outlook.net/opinion/guest-commentary/5398.html#comment-3451 This article really makes a point and one which should command a great deal of attention among those who are presently ' change ' oriented. The whole movement to seek change or perhaps better stated induce change, perhaps, in most cases for change's sake is indeed misguided and causing more internal schism and unrest within our churches than it is helping or healing. Incredible time, energy and financial resource has, and is being, directed toward ' change ' and is sending skewed messages which atre in many cases counterproductive. Lets get back to the tried and true basics and begin to grow a new cadre of confident, capable leadership, lay and clergy, that can of their own volition move their churches in new and positive directions and in the process build and renew a bond of trust between those leaders and their congregations. Great article and I hope it gets the readership and attention it commands....JIm Babcock - James Babcock Tue, 14 Aug 2007 12:00:00 +0100
