We resist change less when we associate it with mission and fortify
it with hope. So argues longtime congregational consultant Peter
Steinke in his fourth book, A Door Set Open, as he explores the
relationship between the challenges of change and our own responses
to new ideas and experiences. Steinke builds on a seldom-explored
principle posited by the late Rabbi Edwin Friedman: the 'hostility
of the environment' is proportionate to the 'response of the
organism.' The key, Steinke says, is not the number or strength of
the stressors in the system--anxiety, poor conditions,
deteriorating values--but the response of the individual or
organization to 'what is there.' Drawing on Bowen system theory and
a theology of hope, as well as his experience working with more
than two hundred congregations, Steinke makes the case that the
church has entered an era of great opportunity. Theologian and
sociologist Ernst Troeltsch said the church had closed down the
office of eschatology. Steinke reopens it and draws our attention
to God's future, to a vision of hope for the people of God. The
door is set open for exploration and new creation.
