Shaping the Future of Denominational Organizational Cultures
When considering the future, some denominational organizations are imagining how new congregations can be formed given the religious and cultural shifts taking place in Canada. By asking leaders focusing on this direction what actions they have taken, it is possible to identify some of the organizational developmental steps which move towards mobilizing new church development. This video, based on a report by Dr. James Watson at The Canadian Institute for Empirical Church Research, offers perspective from the experience of Canadian leaders to suggest important principles and practices which can offer ways forward.
