Acclaimed church leader, blogger, founder and chief strategic
officer of The Unstuck Group, Tony Morgan unpacks the lifecycle of
a typical church, identifies characteristics of each phase, and
provides practical next steps a church can take to move towards
sustained health. Think about your church for a moment. Is it
growing? Is it diminishing? Is it somewhere in between? Acclaimed
church leader, blogger, and founder and chief strategic officer of
The Unstuck Group, Tony Morgan has identified the seven stages of a
church's lifecycle that range from the hopeful and optimistic days
of launch, to the stagnating last stages of life support.
Regardless of the stage in which you find your church, it carries
with it the world's greatest mission-to "go and make disciples of
all the nations . . ." With eternity at stake the Church should be
doing most everything within its power to see lives changed
forever. The Church should strive for the pinnacle of the
lifecycle, where they are continually making new disciples and
experiencing what Morgan refers to as "sustained health." In The
Unstuck Church, Morgan unpacks each phase of the church lifecycle,
and offers specific and strategic next steps the church leader can
take to find it's way to sustained health . . . and finally become
unstuck. The Unstuck Church is a call for honest an assessment of
where your church sits on the lifecycle, and a challenge to move
beyond it.

The Tudor period was notable for religious turmoil. Under Queen
Elizabeth I, the slowly reforming Protestant Church of England
finally gained a level of stability, but many people, from paupers
to Lords, clung to Catholicism. Most crossed their fingers and
attended Protestant services. Others, the recusants', remained
defiant and refused to conform. This book takes a fresh look into
the life and death of one prominent Catholic recusant, Margaret
Clitherow, and the wider events which shaped her story and that of
many others. In 1970, Margaret was made a saint, one of the Forty
Martyrs of England and Wales. All suffered a similar fate.
Elizabeth's government faced threats from multiple directions -
poor harvests, disease, attempts at invasion and plots to replace
the Queen with a Catholic monarch. In York, friction was growing
between the Council of the North and the city Corporation. But for
much of the population, life went on as normal. One well-to-do
family in the city celebrated the birth of a daughter. Brought up
for a time as a Protestant, Margaret Middleton eventually married a
butcher, John Clitherow. They set up home in the Shambles and
raised a family. Margaret's destiny changed when she embraced
Catholicism. In 1586, Margaret's stepfather was elected Lord Mayor
of York. A few weeks later, Margaret was arrested for harbouring
Catholic priests. Coincidence, or something more sinister? What
happened next was sensational. One woman taking on the northern
authorities, the Church of England and assizes judiciary. Sentenced
to death for refusing to make a plea in court, Margaret received a
last-minute reprieve due to claims of her pregnancy, only for these
to be rejected. Following Margaret's brutal execution, Queen
Elizbeth is said to have apologised to the people of York. With one
martyr and no winner, Margaret's story is examined as a microcosm
of Tudor life, a family tragedy of faith and betrayal, set against
a backdrop of political power games, treason and plot.

Innovation can be a challenging subject. At its worst, it is a
meaningless buzzword. At its best, it is a means of driving
differentiating value for an organization. But how can innovation
be consistently achieved in the context of a client-service
provider relationship? This publication provides a practical
framework, with clear supporting recommendations, for clients and
service providers to work together to overcome challenges and
successfully manage, develop, and deliver innovation as a key part
of their ongoing service relationship. Real-world experience,
guidance, and examples are provided to assist and enable
organizations to gain additional value with their service partners
through delivery of innovation by design rather than by accident.
Although targeted at service relationships between clients and
external service providers, the content and recommendations are
equally applicable and relevant for enterprises driving innovation
internally or as part of a wider ecosystem.
