Storyteller's method for studying congregational culture.,
This review is from: Congregation: Stories and Structures (Paperback)
A way of studying and understanding congregational culture. Extemely helpful to preachers, pastors, lay leaders and others who are seeking to understand and thereby better lead/guide a congregation. Hopewell's method, based on narrative types developed by Northrope Frye, is truly and genuinely original. He argues for a narrative-based analysis of congegational culture. Our stories about ourselves best reveal who we are. Very highly recommended.
