Synopsis

The people are the church\-\-not just the pastor. Yet, in many congregations there is a heavy imbalance in the ownership of ministry. Clergy and paid staff are seen as God\x27s agents in the world, and congregants as occasional participants. Sometimes, clergy and other leaders perpetuate this imbalance.<\/p>

Ann Michel presents a more inclusive, collaborative understanding of ministry, which affirms the gifts and calling of both clergy and lay servants. She uses the concept of \x26#34;synergy\x26#34; as a theological framework undergirding this approach. Michel lays out an inclusive and collaborative paradigm of ministry affirming the work of both lay and clergy servants.<\/p>

Synergy<\/em> also provides practical advice on the day\-to\-day skills of synergistic or collaborative ministry \- how to engage others in ministry, how to build teams, how to manage meetings, how to develop others as leaders, etc. The book helps church workers, paid and unpaid, understand how their ministry relates to the mission of God and the ministry of the church, and provides practical guidance on the interpersonal ministry skills essential to any expression of collaborative ministry.<\/p>
