Here’s an interesting blog post by Alban consultant Dan Hotchkiss on church governance. It raises the question for me, “What are the characteristics of a congregation which is able to make real changes in governance which can lead to real change in congregational life?” Like so many other matters, it’s not “about” governance. It’s easier for some congregations than it is for others to choose life and possibility.
What are your experiences with changes in governance and structure?
