Critical Leadership: Redevelopment Principles in Regional Ministry
This thesis looks at redevelopment of congregations which are grouped together as a cluster or regional ministry. The lens used for this examination is a set of five conditions which Arlin Rothauge (in The Life Cycle of Congregations) suggests antedate a successful redevelopment project. A sixth condition which applies to cluster redevelopment is added. One cluster, the Greater Hartford Regional Ministry, is examined in detail and several others, familiar to the author, are noted.
