Now Alban senior consultant Alice Mann, author of The In-Between Church: Navigating Size Transitions in Congregations, addresses the difficulties of that transition in this resource designed specifically for a congregational learning team. Conceptualized and developed by Mann for an Alban on-line seminar program test event conducted with 12 congregations in transition, her newest book features a five-step process enabling the learning team to engage a wider circle of congregational leaders and members in study, discernment, and planning. Never-before published resources include discussion of a major new concept-passive barriers to growth-plus Mann's \"System Change Index\" tool to help congregations measure their progress from pastoral-size to program-size ways of operating. From preparing the congregation's board and members, selecting the person to guide the learning process, and recruiting the learning team, to creating and celebrating a plan for congregational learning and action, Mann provides all the resources a congregation needs to address this significant size transition period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157413327136,"sku":"NEW1566992540","price":20.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71vY2CsI2LL.jpg?v=1786043165","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/raising-the-roof-the-pastoral-to-program-size-transition-1566992540","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
