The Human Face of Church by Sara Savage
Until now, Fresh Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church behaviour rather than conform with them? The publication is structured for use for training in local churches, theological colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.
'The first text book for the mixed economy arrived on my desk this month and it's brilliantThe Human Face of the Church: a social psychology and pastoral theology resource for pioneer and traditional ministry is by Sara Savage and Eolene Boyd Macmillan and published by Canterbury Press. It has excellent chapters on conflict, team-work and empowering leadership. My favourite so far is on Difficult People...' -- Revd Dr Steven Croft
