About this resource

Overview

These lectures bring biblical reflection into conversation with practical frameworks for recognising patterns, managing emotion, listening across differences and designing an appropriate response. Their purpose is to support thoughtful choices when relationships are strained and familiar methods no longer seem adequate. The twelve chapters follow four movements: understanding conflict; examining cultural and relational factors; considering approaches to resolution; and designing interventions across cultures.

Who this is for

Effective Management Practices for Maximum Impact in the Postmodern Church: Common Management Challenges Facing Churches Today and How to Meet Them

The church exists to spread the gospel, and how well it does so depends in no small measure on how well it is managed. This paper examines management challenges that confront many churches today, especially in the postmodern setting, where people are sceptical of institutions, quick to notice inconsistency and slow to commit. Using the classic management practices of planning, organising, staffing, motivating and controlling, together with the processes of communicating and decision making, it identifies recurring problems: the absence of a clear mission and strategic plan, the undue influence of powerful patrons, nepotism and conflicts of interest, idle volunteers, weak motivation, poor financial accountability and communication, and decision making concentrated in a few hands. It then recommends practices, drawn from management theory and Christian leadership literature, for each area. The reflections and applications consider what these practices mean for the church today: transparency as the basis of trust, governance that no single person can capture, clarity of mission in an age of options, equipping and releasing people, reaching the next generation, stewarding the digital church, and training leaders who both lead and manage. The paper concludes that sound management and spiritual gifting are partners, not rivals, in the mission of the church.

Lectures on Designs for Leadership Training

The work of leadership includes preparing other people to lead. Leadership training asks how people can grow in character, judgement and competence so that service continues and others are equipped to contribute. These lectures approach that task through three connected questions. What kind of leader are we seeking to form? How do people learn and change? What relationships, practices and structures help that growth continue? The three parts move from biblical and theological foundations to learning design and then to the culture and methods of leadership development.
