Kicking habits
By:Thomas G. Bandy
Published on 1997-02 by Abingdon Pr

Existing congregations and denominations are so addicted to self-destructive practices that they cannot change until they admit their bondage. These practices include a hunt for doctrinal purity on the theological right, and a desire for political justice on the theological left. The answer is a complete systemic transformation of congregations or denomination, and consultant Thomas Bandy offers twenty shocking truths that thriving churches have discovered.In Kicking Habits: Welcome Relief for Addicted Churches, Thomas Bandy helps pastors and other leaders of addicted churches kick their habits by deconstructing the existing system, followed by an emphasis on small-group ministry, multi-track worship experiences, the retraining of enabling pastors, and an abiding, relentless sensitivity toward people who are seeking a Higher Power but who have lost patience with conflicted, self-absorbed religious institutions.The book is loaded with test instruments, helpful charts and surveys and perceptive insights into the dilemmas faced by pastors and other church leaders.
