The church you love needs revitalization to be an effective light in a postmodern culture-even if your church is growing. Clear governance, agility, and ditching attractional church is the key.If you're concerned about your church's future, or if your church is thriving but you still find yourself asking, "Is this really all there is?", Nimble Church is for you. Designed to be used in a workshop or group study setting, the template for revitalization in Nimble Church will be indispensable to anyone, not just church leaders, who longs to see their church break out of the typical constraints and be a church authentically missional. You will:- See why the church has an outward priority- Find out that postmodernism is a gift to the church- Understand a false dichotomy between discipleship and evangelism- Discover a proven model that goes beyond attractional or incarnational- Realize that historic churches have an advantage over church plants- Recognize that missionality will never happen without clear governance- Learn how the test of a good church leader must radically change- Become part of a new wave of churches inherently relevant in their communityIf you're tempted to copy another church that's growing fast, or despair at your church shrinking around you, or sensing a shallowness around attractional church, or abandoning your church to begin anew-read this first! It's not for the faint of heart. It's a prescription for gigantic change. If you doubt church revitalization, "Nimble Church" is for you.

It matters very little whether God is still speaking or the world is radically changing if churches continue to organize themselves to always do what they've always done. Life in infinitely creative. New ideas are routinely generated by good and gifted people prompted by circumstances and motivated by aspirations of faithful discipleship. But new ideas lose their luster and life-giving potential when they are assigned to a committee, subjected to parliamentary protocol, controlled by command, and wrapped up in the red tape of policies and procedures. What chance do fresh breezes of the Spirit have in the face of systems designed to withstand even the mightiest winds of change? There is a better way, one that requires moving beyond machine models of organizational life into a new paradigm that values churches as living systems capable of adaptive reorganization in response to changes, challenges, and choices. Rather then clinging anxiously to the way things have always been, living churches reach toward abundant life with zest and a sense of adventure that inspire genuine wonder and awe. Drawing on insights from organizational innovators in a variety of specializations, this book invites churches to become organizationally nimble by clearing away bureaucratic clutter and boldly engaging emerging possibilities. It helps churches organize for now and not forever, and provides a way for meaningful ministry to maintain or reclaim its place at the top of every congregation's list of things to do today.

Churches in North America are bigger than ever, but their slow rate of growth cannot keep up with population increases. Existing churches simply cannot add enough new believers! The good news is that by multiplying, steadily and strategically planting new churches that, in turn, plant new churches, the global Church creates more of what Ralph Moore calls harvest points. In How to Multiply Your Church, Pastor Moore shows church leaders and pastors why multiplication is the key to growing God’s global kingdom in their communities, and he offers them proven methods for implementing multiplication in their existing churches. Countless leaders have found an indispensable resource in starting a new church because of Pastor Moore’s vast firsthand experience and practical wisdom. How to Multiply Your Church is the next leap forward for those who long to see God’s kingdom increase.

What are the conditions that foster true novelty and allow visionaries to set their eyes on unknown horizons? What have been the challenges that have spawned new innovations, and how have they shaped modern biology? In Dreamers, Visionaries, and Revolutionaries in the Life Sciences, editors Oren Harman and Michael R. Dietrich explore these questions through the lives of eighteen exemplary biologists who had grand and often radical ideas that went far beyond the run-of-the-mill science of their peers. From the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who coined the word “biology” in the early nineteenth century, to the American James Lovelock, for whom the Earth is a living, breathing organism, these dreamers innovated in ways that forced their contemporaries to reexamine comfortable truths. With this collection readers will follow Jane Goodall into the hidden world of apes in African jungles and Francis Crick as he attacks the problem of consciousness. Join Mary Lasker on her campaign to conquer cancer and follow geneticist George Church as he dreams of bringing back woolly mammoths and Neanderthals. In these lives and the many others featured in these pages, we discover visions that were sometimes fantastical, quixotic, and even threatening and destabilizing, but always a challenge to the status quo.

Two trends in the early twenty-first-century intersect to give this volume immediate relevance: 1) The emerging postmodern ethos in North America is calling into question many things we have taken for granted, including the purposes of the church; and 2) our time is increasingly fractious as groups with distinct worldviews become polarized and often antagonistic. Eleven noted contributors join a growing current that sees conversation as an image to refresh our thinking about the nature and purpose of the church, and as a process in which individuals and communities with different perspectives come together for real understanding. Under the Oak Tree employs the image of Sarah and Abraham greeting three visitors under the Oaks of Mamre as an image for the church as a community of conversation, a community that opens itself to the otherness of the Bible, voices in history and tradition, others in the contemporary social and ecological worlds. Furthermore, the book shows how conversation can lead the church to action. The book takes a practical approach by exploring how conversation can shape key parts of the church's life. Topics include preaching, worship, formation, evangelism, pastoral care, mission and ecumenism, social witness, and the relationship of Christianity to other religions. Foundational chapters consider God as conversational, the church as community of conversation, and the minister as conversation leader.
