- "[E]xamines the church systems we find ourselves in and constructs strategies for bettering them. First, it describes systems theory to help readers understand how parish churches work and how problems can develop in them. Second, it suggests ways in which ministers and other leaders can act when caught in a maelstrom of conflict in a parish. And finally, the book provides church leaders with specific ways they can enhance their own leadership abilities" -- Foreword.
