Sacred Decisions: Consensus in Faith Communities

Más información sobre el libro

\x22This book offers congregational leaders and others the opportunity to explore and implement consensus as a decision\-making model. Authors Marcia J. Patton and Nora J. Percival clearly state what consensus is and what it is not. They provide a “how\-to” resource for persons who want to change how their groups make decisions. Although voting, the “holy way,” the “majority rule,” and Robert’s Rules of Order are deeply entrenched in this country, a consensus is another way to think through, discuss, feel, and arrive at a decision. Patton and Percival provide real\-life examples, planning and meeting ideas, and essential steps to develop a consensus decision\-making model.\x22
