Reviews
If you are looking for a way to engage your congregation in living its mission and addressing ever-increasing demands, then How Your Congregation Learns is the resource you need. Tim Shapiro provides a unique and much-needed understanding of how to transform the congregation into a learning community ready to take on new initiatives. How Your Congregation Learns provides a practical process-with lots of congregational examples-that will give you the knowledge and confidence to facilitate change and create innovation. -- John Roberto, president of LifelongFaith Associates, author of Reimagining Faith Formation for the 21st Century In many congregations, the best ideas die on the vine or fizzle after the first try, because they exceed current capacity. But what if the daunting goal is to actually generate new capacity for effective mission, today and tomorrow? Learning to learn is the key to unlocking new strengths in congregations-even the smallest ones-and this book reveals how this powerful and sacred process actually works. -- Alice Mann, Congregational Consulting Group
