About the Book
Improving our spiritual communities takes creative work. Today's congregations face many challenges: how to respond to new circumstances while honoring venerable traditions, how to attract new members while retaining old ones, and how to develop leadership that is both strong and responsive.
The Self-Renewing Congregation offers concrete, practical information to transform and revitalize our spiritual communities while tackling these issues, showing how weak congregations can become strong. A complete resource full of ideas, information, and support, this is a guide for those involved in, or interested in, energizing their spiritual communities. It is the second volume in the Synagogue 2000 series Revitalizing Congregational Life.
Combining expert advice and experience garnered from leaders and case studies throughout North America, The Self-Renewing Congregation includes sample exercises, text study guides, and original case studies from dynamic, successful congregations.
