E-mail: info@heartlandcenter.info Notes: "Appreciative inquiry is an approach to organizational change based on strengths rather than weaknesses, on a vision of what is possible rather than an analysis of what is not. In Locating the Energy for Change, Dr. Charles Elliott describes the theoretical basis of appreciative inquiry, shows practitioners how to use it, and provides case studies of its applications in the developing world."

Recommended By: Hartford Institute for Religion Research To Acquire Contact: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Super Book Deals Notes: What is the clergy person's contribution when the community no longer makes the assumption that you have authority? "Carroll asks how a sense of clergy authority might be recovered--one that honors shared ministry among clergy and lay leaders while it appreciates the distinctive leadership tasks of each clergyperson. To recover this sense, Carroll proposes a model of reflective leadership and uses practical examples to illustrate this method." (Publisher's description)ISBN/ISSN: ISBN: 0664251684

Lischer, Richard. Open Secrets: A Spiritual Journey through a Country Church. Kingston, Ontario, Canada: Doubleday, 2001
Recommended By: Queen’s Theological CollegeTo Acquire Contact: Amazon, Barnes and Noble Notes: "Open Secrets is Richard Lischer's story of his early career as a Lutheran minister. Fresh out of divinity school and full of enthusiasm, Lischer found himself assigned to a small conservative church in an economically depressed town in southern Illinois. This was far from what this overly enthusiastic and optimistic young man expected. The town was bleak, poor, and clearly not a step on his path to a brilliant career."
