For over twenty years the Leadership in Ministry workshops (LIM) has trained leaders from across the country in a different way of thinking about the ministry of leadership. Grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory, the workshops challenge and equip pastoral leaders to lead from the self with a deep understanding of the emotional process that influences relationship systems. In this volume LIM faculty members and other contributors share wisdom gained from the workshops and from coaching ministry leaders in numerous contexts. Using Bowen Systems Theory as a theory of practice for ministry, the writers offer a different and challenging perspective for courageous leadership.
