Almost everywhere throughout the greater church are unsustainable trends-endowments are being depleted, building maintenance deferred, congregations are aging and dwindling, and budgets are too far out-of-whack. And although there is much literature on what to do to grow congregations, little has been said about how to get those things done. In highly accessible, anecdotal prose, church management expert Gerald Keucher focuses in very practical terms on how to bring the right spirit, approach, and tactics to the work of bringing a congregation back from the edge of the abyss.
Since my exposure to that fiery revolutionary, William Sloane Coffin, the anti-Vietnam activist of the late 1960s, I've been fascinated by how Old-Guard Protestantism would or could get hip to the realities of the quicksilver changes in the American zeitgeist.This book is savvy, smart, and helpful...and poignant for insights into how the no-longer-well-funded churches built by what used to be known as "the affluent bourgeoisie" can and will keep pace with urbanized congregations of tomorrow. The church needs more books like this, and more visionaries like the Rev. Keucher.
