Modern church leaders need to cultivate innovative and creative
leadership skills, as they navigate today s post-Christian world,
and as their congregations look to them for insight and guidance.
Gil Stafford takes a fresh look at this vital need, drawing upon
his experience as a college coach, university president, and parish
priest, and interweaving them with ancient spiritual practices
found within the discipline of spiritual direction. Personal
anecdotes help the reader envision their own life-transforming
pilgrimage, as they develop into the type of adaptive leader that
churches need in today s rapidly changing world. This book
challenges church leaders to foster sacred safe space, holy
listening, silence, and wisdom storytelling, in order to create a
discerning church community. These techniques of spiritual
direction can be applied to every aspect of the church, from small
group studies to conducting parish business. Gradually the leader
will be able to delegate some of his responsibilities to the
congregation, liberating them to be leaders, and rescuing him from
trying to be all things to all people."
