The Elephant in the Church: What You Don't See Can Kill Your Ministry
Quick Overview
What could be worse than having an elephant lurking in the sanctuary? Ignoring that it's there! Revealing common elephant-sized blind spots of congregations and church leaders, Stevenson and Dell offer examples and illustrations to help you name, acknowledge, and deal with issues before they become large enough to trample your ministry. 144 pages, softcover from Abingdon.
A church can be a dangerous place. The perils may be so obvious, they become “elephants” standing in the fellowship hall, lurking in the sanctuary, ready to spring into the pastor’s study, and tromp out of the choir room. The word “elephant” stands for an obvious truth or issue that is ignored or unnamed—a blind spot. Yet we allow elephants to occupy a large amount of space in the minds and hearts of those that tiptoe around them. Discussing common blind-spots of congregations and church leaders, the authors provide examples and illustrations for how to stop these "elephants" from ruining a ministry.
