Agility and innovation -- Faith and spirituality in a fluid and insecure age -- Forming and restoring community in a nomadic world -- Failing well, or what the church can learn from Silicon Valley -- Disciplines of a learning church -- Organizing for innovation.
Summary: In today's dynamic cultural environment, churches have to be more than faithful--they have to be agile. That means embracing processes of trial, failure, and adaptation as they form Christian community with new neighbors. And that means a whole new way of being church. Taking one page from the Bible and another from Silicon Valley, priest and scholar Dwight Zscheile brings theological insights together with cutting-edge thinking on organizational innovation to help churches flourish in a time of profound uncertainty and spiritual opportunity. Picking up where his recent bestseller, People of the Way left off, Zscheile answers urgent and practical questions around how churches become agile and adaptive to meet cultural change. Cutting-edge leadership theory, approaches, and techniques for churches Skillfully addresses both academic and church audiences.
