Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

Next week, as part of the Episcopal Church Foundation's pilot project Barnabas,  I will be helping to lead a webinar for a small group of seminarians, clergy, and vestry members on leadership for a changing church. Because it is a pilot project, we are experimenting with new methods for fostering group discussion online. This includes watching select YouTube videos in advance and then engaging in "group discussion" via webcams and conference calls. 

One video that I'm sure will provoke good discussion is the following seven-minute overview of Edwin Friedman's theory of differentiated leadership. The video explores a wide variety of topics that might be interesting to congregational leaders, such as:

• Why sabotoge might be a sign that you're doing something right
• What triangulation looks like and how to respond
• What it means to be a non-anxious presence

Do you think this applies to your congregation? Why or why not? Please share below.
