| Description: |
In contrast to many writers about church growth, Gil Rendle works with three important observations: (1)Most congregations are not "pure markets," discrete groups with uniform values and behaviors, that can be targeted to the exclusion of all other audiences; (2) Some of the differences and discomforts experienced in the congregation are based on the members' tenure, or length of membership, rather than their age; and (3) Leadership in congregations is not a matter of marketplace savvy but of spiritual authenticity in which we continue to shape our faith tradition to be heard and understood by a changing culture. Rendle shows us how to talk with and really understand one generational cohort while another cohort is present looking over one's shoulder. Alban Institute. |
