This is an examination of the role and work of bishops for today
and tomorrow, exploring how ministries of great responsibility
might shape the future. Episcopal churches around the world are in
crisis. Some face division and threats from breakaway groups.
Others have a crisis of finance and fear bankruptcy. Dioceses are
accused of inadequate pastoral care and delayed disciplining of
clergy. Bishops lead separatist groups and allow themselves to
become the focus for disagreement. Something disturbing is
happening to our churches and we need to find out what it is.
Writing from long experience as a church leader, consultant and
trainer, Malcolm Grundy has produced a searching examination of
leadership in episcopal churches. He asserts that there is a vacuum
of leadership in many places. Describing the pitfalls and
temptations of power he analyzes the responsibilities of
leadership. He asserts that a rediscovery of episkope - the shared
responsibility which all members of episcopal churches have for
one-another is the trust-building ingredient which is missing. His
imaginative models of what mutually accepted leadership and
oversight can look like lead to a creative conclusion. Without the
acceptance of trusting relationships, he fears that the descent
into further schism is inevitable.
