Read & Yak Book Discussion: March 28, 12:00 noon

Is the church a machine or a living system?

A Different Way of Thinking About Leadership

Have you ever felt that the old ways just don’t seem to work like they used to?

Margaret Wheatley offers answers in her acclaimed book: Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World. Click here to read what Rev. Stewart McDonald writes about how this book has changed his view of leading congregations and other groups. 

In Leadership and the New Science, Margaret Wheatley invites us to see the world — and our communities and organizations — not as machines to manage, but as living systems shaped by relationships, trust, and shared purpose. It’s a hopeful and refreshing perspective that speaks not only to workplaces, but to families, friendships, the church, indeed our very lives.

We’ll gather in person in the Activities Room and online via Zoom from 12:00p to 1:30p, with Holly Hope leading the discussion. Feel free to bring your lunch to enjoy as we yak.
