Leading with Trust (L20)

Richard England explores the importance of trust between church and leader, and the impact it can have on the vision of church. He offers excellent insight into how leaders and their churches can develop trust.

Much leadership thinking in recent years has focused on the importance of vision to generate enthusiasm and commitment. But this thought-provoking booklet argues that without trust, trying to cultivate a church’s vision is little more than rearranging the furniture.

Told through a series of dialogues between a fictional curate and vicar, it sets out the idea of a ‘trust fund’ that can help leaders and churches to develop low-friction ministry in which teams, groups and congregations develop trust, vision and values.

The Grove Leadership Series is a partnership between CPAS and Grove Books, offering fresh thinking and ideas to ensure the difference leadership makes is biblical, thoughtful and practical. Grove Booklets are fast moving explorations of Christian life and ministry: 'Not the last word ... but often the first'.
