Collaboration: Uniting Our Gifts in Ministry FROM THE PUBLISHER
Collaboration offers a comprehensive model and a wealth of practical strategies to help ministers navigate their way through the sometimes messy, sometimes painful issues they confront. Chronicling the many developments in the church's life and practice since the issue of collaborative ministry first came into focus, the authors identify some of the myths and obstacles that hinder effective collaborative ministry and offer concrete examples of why and how collaboration is working. Their careful use of a full range of contemporary ecclesial documents helps readers concretize a sometimes nebulous understanding of collaborative ministry. And they show that effective collaboration requires both a collaborative spirituality and specific skills such as group leadership, dealing with conflict, and learning to confront.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
There is no one in church leadership today who has given more commitment, passion, and scholorship to a vision of collaborative ministry than Br. Loughlan Sofield and Sr. Carroll Juliano. It is my prayer and hope that I will continue to be formed and shaped by the prophetic vision of this book and that the church will continue to be renewed through the giftedness of each and every person called by baptism to buils the reign of god.
