A comprehensive resource for those seeking to make more effective and sustainable changes in parish churches. Drawing on the fields of organization development and pastoral and ascetical theology, this latest addition to the Shaping the Parish series is a guidebook to intervention. With numerous real-life examples, as well as advice about what to do and how to do it, this book gives parish leaders a road map to implementing meaningful change. It also helps church leaders understand which changes are most strategic and how best to begin and maintain them.From the authors of A Wonderful and Sacred Mystery and the creators of the Shaping the Parish training program, this is an indispensible handbook to the complex field of parish development. Finding God in All Things is written in an accessible style, and is always attentive to spiritual and cultural realities. We hope both clergy and lay leaders will find new energy in approaching the work of nurturing faithful and healthy parish communities. Read more
