Based on his years as an Episcopal priest and church consultant, Philip Wiehe writes here about the church as it is today and how we will need to retrofit it to fulfill its mission in the years to come. Along the way he exposes ten dumb things-traps that churches often fall into, including: being too business-like or not business-like enough, failing to do strategic planning, falling into the mission statement trap, making decisions poorly, internal turf wars, being confused about identity, and others. Written in an engaging and accessible style, Wiehe provides clergy and lay leaders of congregations with specific steps for undoing the messes they find themselves in, or even avoiding them altogether.
