		<description><![CDATA[Below are introductory comments for my D.Min. sudents entering our new program on contextual leadership: Last week the director of a consortium of theological schools visited me for a consultation. In the course of our conversation I shared with him my “rant” on formation related to the under appreciated significance of context. My rant typically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Israel Galindo A colleague invited some of us to a discussion on the phenomenon of BFST orthodoxy. This is the tendency we’ve seen among some “Bowenians” to guard the orthodoxy of the theory. At times it manifests itself as: * A focus on the exclusively &#8220;correct&#8221; use of terms, concepts, and vocabulary * The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received an emal from a pastor asking about children&#8217;s sermons. He just accepted a call to a church at which he&#8217;ll need to deliver a children&#8217;s sermon as part of the worship service pastoral duties. I think that&#8217;s a great thing. And I appreciate his seeking counsel on how to do it well. Below [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent conversation with a group of folks in theological education who were pondering the relationship between the academy and the Church I was asked what I thought the future of congregations would look like. My response was that I have no crystal ball and would be suspect of anyone who offered a definitive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a recent conference on congregational leadership I was again struck by how the level of energy (anxiety?) in the room increased when the topic focused on change. This is natural, of course, since one of the critical functions of the leader in any system is bring about positive change on several levels. In fact, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a while since I’ve heard from Rick, who always asks interesting “systems questions.” Today he asked: “I was just wondering what steps people can take to not be guided by the emotional programming they have acquired from their family of origin. How does one learn to separate oneself from this programming?” That&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>
