Being Church : The Formation Of Christian Community

Being Church offers ideas and strategies, based on real experience and detailed reflection, on processes that offer support and challenge to church leaders and especially clergy, in relation to the diocese and ecumenical relations. Through the guiding metaphor of Presiding the book shows how to empower the loas, draw out confident leadership, centred discipleship, mutual affirmation, a sense of being on a journey towards and with God, discerning local churches direction, sense of identity, and the courage to listen.
