Challenging the Church Monster: From Conflict to Community

by Douglas J. Bixby, George B. Thompson (Foreword)

Bixby discusses the ways in which churches can restructure themselves and work through issues that are causing stagnation, early dismissal of pastors, and other conflicts that detract from the mission and vision of the church. Challenging the Church Monster suggests new ways for churches to function so that mission and ministry can once again become priorities, and people can begin to feel their time and energy are being used for something other than adding fuel to the fire of conflict within the congregation.
