I wonder about that. We think of church as a "better place" and it really isn't; the lack of structure and poor communication exacerbate issues; there isn't always a way to resolve (vs. going up the chain of a department store- you may not get the answer you want, but there is a clear path forward).

It's a more generally useful book in understanding congregational behavior (not to mention ministerial behavior!)<BR/>Hope that the issues that provoked such a book order settle down soon!Christine Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291622244158872449noreply@blogger.com
