Contents:
Introduction: an uncertain journey -- When maps no longer work -- Maps shaping our imaginations in modernity -- Leading in an in-between time -- When common sense is no longer common -- From playing pool to herding cats -- Why strategic planning doesn't work in this new space and doesn't fit God's purposes -- Eight currents of change and the challenge of making new maps -- Lessons from the formation of the internet for leading in this new space -- The map-making process -- Cultivating a core identity in a changed environment -- Cultivating parallel cultures of the kingdom -- Map-making partnerships between a local church and neighborhoods and communities.
Summary: In the burgeoning missional church movement, churches are seeking to become less focused on programs for members and more oriented toward outreach to people who are not already in church. This fundamental shift in what a congregation is and does and thinks is challenging for leaders and congregants. Using the metaphor of map-making, the book explains the perspective and skills needed to lead congregations and denominations in a time of radical change over unfamiliar terrain as churches change their focus from internal to external. --from publisher description
