초록/해제  
요약 : The narrative of concern is the exhaustion and loss of spiritual vitality many members of Episcopal Church feel as they struggle to maintain the current church system in the face of declining numbers. From 2007 to 2011 the Episcopal Church lost 319 congregations and almost 50,000 members a year--or 11% of its members in five years. Meanwhile, average Sunday attendance declined more than 10% in 54% of churches.1 As the number of active members and financial resources declines, the gap between the expectations embodied in the common notion of church and current reality widens, requiring people to work harder and give more to maintain the system. Programs to "fix" the problem demand even more time and money, and many fail to produce the hoped-for results. Some people give up and leave; others stay but are exhausted and dispirited. Dedicated clergy and laity fail to find the depth of spiritual life or the engagement in God's mission that they desire.
초록/해제  
요약 : This project uses the concepts of organizational systems theory and, in particular, the Theory U process and the spiritual practice of discernment to provide church leaders with a process to help their members envision and implement new ways being church. The project participants, diocesan leaders responsible for several congregations, were able to let go of traditional assumptions about what constitutes church and began implementing prototypes embodying their emerging vision including starting a new congregation in a home. The core concepts of systems theory helped move the group from fixing problems to focusing on the future that was emerging and taking concrete steps towards implementation.
