description:  Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? That depends, says Lyle E. Schaller, on your viewpoint and values. Any given change can be threatening if all your values are wedded to the way things are now, if you can only view the future through the lens of the past. Or it can be exciting, if your viewpoint is geared toward the new possibilities that will arise from this change. By looking at several examples of large-scale, discontinuous change that have occurred over the last ten to thirty years, Schaller prepares church leaders to orient themselves to the new challenges and opportunities for ministry that will result from the accelerated transition going on around us. &lt;!-- ul.linkBullets { 0; } ul.linkBullets li { none; 1em; 1em; } ul.noteBullets { 0; } ul.noteBullets li { none; } span.darkRedWarning { #990000; } --&gt;
