Parish Planning: A Practical Guide to Shared Responsibility - Tapa blanda

De la solapa interior

"From insight to impact" is what this bold book is about. Father Howes writes for those who want results?those who want to move from ideas to action. Stressing the importance of quantification as well as piety, the peril of platitude and the critical role of pastors and councils, the author provides citations and parallels from current writings on secular organizational "planagement." Readers will find this work a "think book," a "workbook," and a treasure trove of thirty years of hands-on, practical experience in the North American Church. Father Howes organized and directed the first accredited graduate degree program in planning at The Catholic University of America and is one of the founders of the National Catholic Pastoral Planning Conference.
