Waves of Change

In the Jan/Feb 2005 NetResults, George Bullard provides a description of services available to congregations.
The Clinician Wave, post WWII, gathered folk for community/clinical learning opportunities.
The Chaplaincy Wave, 1955-1965, emphasized pastoral care and care ministries.
In the 70's, the Consulting Wave arrived bringing in tools and techniques for assessment and analysis and held attention for several decades.
We are now experiencing the Coaching Wave which shifts energy toward capacity building.
The other current wave is described as the Communities Wave bringing folk together for support, peer learning and community building.
All options have gifts to offer, and each congregation may benefit from multiple styles/waves at the same time!
