Description
Church Reform and Leadership of Change by Harald Askeland and Ulla Schmidt explores the inner dynamic and nature of processes of change in European Protestant churches. Over the past fifteen to twenty years, many churches have felt compelled to explore new forms of operations, activities, and organisational structures in response to declining membership rates, dwindling finances, and decreasing participation in church rituals. The book applies perspectives from organisational studies to ecclesiological categories, seeking to provide a richer understanding of the field of processes of change in churches. It examines how reform is viewed as a church practice, its implications for leadership and governance, and how churches incorporate organisational practices of planned change and renewal. By bringing together insights from different fields, this book offers a nuanced analysis of the complex issues facing churches today.
