You have probably received information regarding an upcoming seminar hosted by the Texas Methodist Foundation in partnership with The Alban Institute. Leading Change in the Congregation will focus on the adjustments and challenges facing today s faith communities. This workshop is designed to help church leaders explore and identify different aspects of change within congregations. The course offers suggestions on how to deal with a broad, and often conflicting, diversity of expectations while encouraging changes that may carry rich potential for ministry and mission. Specific topics addressed by Rendle will include fundamental shifts in change theory, natural resistance to change, the role of leaders in the dynamics of change, the need for diagnostic tools used to identify critical issues of resistance and appropriate ways to lead the congregation.
