Leadership is required.
Discerning God's Will Together is a practical manual for leaders struggling to be faithful in their decision-making processes. Together, they offer a method for corporate discernment that moves from framing the issue in light of God's will, agreement about guiding principles for the community in which the process occurs, and laying agendas and obstacles on the table toward an openness to God's leading in scripture, silence and diverse voices. The group then rests with and tests the decision. This question is always at the heart of any spiritual discernment process. Discerning God's Will Together introduces the reader to the craft of seeking a way forward in the church that is not about winning and losing, pressure and power.
