Product Description
Product Description
Contemporary mission and ministry, as well as best practice in secular government, emphasize partnership and working together. Yet this can be easier said than done. At its best, working together brings energy and synergy and enables you to achieve something you could never do alone. At its worst, it's a nightmare that you may well wish you had never got into. Skills for Collaborative Ministry will help you to work more effectively with other people, both inside and outside of the Church. Each chapter focuses on a particular skill - such as team building, facilitation, diversity skills, conflict resolution and evaluation techniques - outlines the theory and the theology behind it, and gives practical guidance and advice. Written by an experienced team, the book includes exercises for both individuals and groups, along with a range of ideas that can be adapted to your own context. It will enable you to work collaboratively with confidence and skill.

Format:Paperback
"The book is full of good sense and practice from a team of experienced practitioners who have lived out a collaborative ministry over many years. Even if the reader's collaborative style of ministry is a dream rather than a reality in their current circumstances the chapters outlining good practice in enabling effective groups, facilitation skills, reflecting and vision-building, teamwork and supervision skills make purchasing the book worthwhile in themselves. The chapters are full of sound theory supported by practical ideas and exercises that would enhance any practitioner workshops or church training session. For example, to find a book that offers such clarity about managing diversity and conflict in team situations in such a clear, concise and realistic manner is rare.
However, never loose sight of the overarching aim of the book: to enable and encourage practitioners to establish a collaborative style among diverse people. The book is easy to read, practical and is born out of a desire to encourage people to work together, "because we are called to be a company of disciples, not isolated individuals. It is a must for busy trainers, church leaders and those developing teams, not only as a good and inspirational read but as a life changing resource for anyone in ministry. Even among those who consider themselves to be collaborative in style, the chapters will provide a helpful checklist to measure their success. This book will enhance and inform the mission and ministry of any church or organisation wishing to grow a collaborative style but are wondering where to begin."

Steps through well known territory, but in a way that is related to faith and theology. Plenty of good refernces for academic purposes.
Format:Paperback
I know many people have found this book interesting and helpful, but after 25 years in an office enviroment, dealing with outside agencies and internal politics I found a lot of it old hat. However, it is a good book to have on your shelf to dip into when you have a particular situation or query about how to tackle something or someone.
