Among the most helpful and widely acclaimed resources for
addressing church conflict and the quality of church life is
Richardson's groundbreaking volume Creating a Healthier Church
(Fortress Press, 1996). His application of family systems theory to
congregational life has enormously clarified its operative systems
and especially its emotional system. In this sequel, Richardson
employs the same methodology to address the roots of personal
issues that may hinder pastors' ability to function effectively as
leaders within their congregations, and may in fact cause them deep
difficulties. He especially addresses pastors' own families of
origin, a major but often hidden component in how they function
emotionally in their congregations. When anxiety arises, unresolved
familial issues and old family patterns return, often unhelpfully.
Richardson explores these patterns, how they operate in church
situations, and how pastors can do their own family-of-origin
assessment. His volume will become a standard tool for analysis of
patterns in ministerial behavior and developing strong personal
effectiveness.
