Congregational Dialog for Caring and Effective Ministry
Growing out of frequent requests for evaluation instruments for use with church staff, “Congregational Dialog for Caring and Effective Ministry” is a manual that moves beyond critical evaluation to effective and healthy dialog.
“Congregational Dialog for Caring and Effective Ministry” lays out resources that encourage individual growth and healthy relationships, recognizes the uniqueness of ministry settings, and reflects the Lutheran understanding of church and ministry. The manual will guide you through the use of three processes, including:
- A periodic congregational study beginning with every member cottage meetings including a sharing of congregational history and self-analysis based on the letters to the seven churches (Revelation 2-3).
- A planned yearly dialog between the church workers and church leadership.
- An opportunity for individual growth and development for church workers seeking feedback from a selected or targeted group.
