“A leader who is invested in knowing, advocating, and striving will have difficulty embracing emergence. The leader who practices unknowing, attending, and surrender will rest more productively into the cycle.”

“A congregation that is not growing is dying. However, growth won’t necessarily be reflected numerically. It doesn’t have to involve more bodies in worship or in membership, or more dollars in the budget. It should involve growth related to the congregation’s proximate purpose: deepening spiritual practices, integrating kids with special needs into the life of the congregation, strengthening intergenerational connections, and the like. A leader trying to move an organization away from general aspirations about growth, toward a more specific purpose, can ask these questions. Growth to what end; what will growth accomplish that is central to our mission? Who will benefit from growth? Is growth possible or even desirable? Where will growth come from?[14]”
