Synopsis

The Soul of Discernment provides concrete steps for groups of people who work together and need to make important decisions: church sessions, nonprofit hiring committees, etc. Liebert calls this process the Social Discernment Cycle, a process for seeking God's call in a particular situation. â oeIt is called â ~social' because it deals primarily with human communities in their social-structural, rather than interpersonal aspects, â � Liebert explains. â oeIt is a cycle because one completed round of discernment prepares for the next. The Social Discernment Cycle is particularly apt for any discernment that involves a structure, system, or institution.â �

This book helps groups work through this cycle to answer the question, â oeHow is God leading us, individually or together, to act in this particular moment in our organization?â �
