		<description><![CDATA[People sometimes ask me if they can use my stuff, published material and resources like those on the educational consultant site. I always appreciate that they ask and tell them they are free to use whatever they find helpful for their work or ministry. It’s at least better than the guest lecturer I invited to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a post at Learnings at Leadership Network, by Warren Bird, Ph.D., Research Director at Leadership Network, and co-author of 19 books on various aspects of church health and innovation. This was posted on May 16, 2008 in Church Visits. Warren wrote, “Unfortunately, too many churches exist where the senior pastor is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roy Phillipâ€™s Letting Go (Herndon, Virginia: The Alban Institute, 1999) starts with the assertion that ministers need to â€œlet goâ€ of their need to control every aspect of their congregation, and to let the members take charge.

		<description><![CDATA[I will start by saying that I found R. Paul Stevenâ€™s book The Equipperâ€™s Guide to Every-Member Ministry (Regent College Publishing, 1992) to be every practical. I also found myself wondering how different churches would look if the things in this book were applied in the widespread congregations across the country. Dividing the book into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the courses I teach at the seminary goes by the clumsy title of â€œDeveloping Lay Leadership in the Congregation.â€ I think itâ€™s one of the most important courses I teach, though Iâ€™m frustrated that Iâ€™ve not found the best way to teach this one. I think itâ€™s important because the future of the [...]]]></description>

In most of my readings over the past 2-3 years on disability&#8217;s ministry, most of the material published has been by the Assembly of God churches. I&#8217;m not sure that I&#8217;ve read anything [...]]]></description>
