Congregations today face an adaptive challenge of immense proportions. Many respond with classic signs of work avoidance: holding to past assumptions and blaming authority. Thomas Hawkins’s new vision of church leadership can provide a way to break through these defensive routines. The Learning Congregation is a must read for all pastors and church leaders.
Thomas R. Hawkins teaches courses in Career and Organizational Studies at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. He is the author of numerous books on congregational life.
