Description
Advice from a parish consultant for churches who are seeking new leadership. Most churches, he says, are comfortable with who they are and search for ministers who blend in. Too much of the search literature implies that ministerial candidates should accept congregations as they find them, and not challenge ineffective customs and ways. Durall believes that the search for compliant ministers is a primary reason why mainline Protestantism is faltering in America today.
