Building Bridges During the Interim: a Workbook for Congregational Leaders John Lepper

Building Bridges During the Interim helps lay, congregational leaders understand the dynamics of congregations during the interim. Lay leaders can make a difference in guiding their respective congregations through the interim. Each search committee is different. The same is true of congregations during the interim. Interims are different for different congregations. Yet, most congregations during the interim have similarities. Interims differ in different congregations because each congregation has its own polity, history, demographic, size, and leadership. This workbook seeks to helps the lay leader answer two questions regarding the interim: 1. What can I expect? 2. What can I do? Building Bridges During the Interim will help lay leaders discern answers to these questions and provide helpful leadership during the critical time of interim.
