Congregations as Learning Communities: Tools for Shaping Your Future

Praise for the Book

“Dennis Campbell speaks out of his own experience as a pastor in a congregation and as a passionate student and able teacher of congregational development. His impressive grasp of the principles of the learning organization and his ability to translate these principles into working examples gives the reader the tools to effect positive change in the most congregational settings. Clergy and lay leaders willing to invest in the discipline and effort needed to help a congregation see itself as it is, and vision itself for the future, will find this book invaluable.” —Herbert Donovan

“Given my own interest in developing a more communal spirituality, I enthusiastically endorse Dennis Campbell's book Congregations as Learning Communities: Tools for Shaping Your Future. Campbell offers a rejuvenating approach for those concerned about how Christian communities learn together in these capricious and tempestuous times. Dennis's most valuable contribution lies in his perspective that congregations need to retool their systems in light of long-term goals. Dennis's practical steps for congregations will help them to practice learning together and thus achieve this important retooling.” —Michael Battle
