How do we do this?
What must we understand?
GilGil RendleRendle’’ss ““The he Roller oller Coaster of Changeoaster of Change””
•The roller coaster of change is a model that identifies a natural sequence of feelings and relationships that are a part of change...
•It is impossible to talk ideas with people on the feeling side of the roller coaster.
•If change is to happen we must be able to tolerate the pain in others.

Leadership
Leadership is the spiritual process of discerning
what one believes (clarity), acting on that belief
in the public arena (decisiveness), and standing
behind that action (responsibility) despite the
varied responses of people (courage).
- Rev. Frank Thomas
I am open and I am willingTo be hopeless would seem so strangeIt dishonors those who go before usSo lift me up to the light of change
There is hurting in my familyThere is sorrow in my townThere is panic in the nationThere is wailing the whole world round
May the children see more clearlyMay the elders be more wiseMay the winds of change caress usEven though it burns our eyes
Give me a mighty oak to hold my confusionGive me a desert to hold my fearsGive me a sunset to hold my wonderGive me an ocean to hold my tears
If we were really serious about growth we would keep a larger percentage of the children that
pass through our congregations.
Rev. Bill Sinkford

struggle• The people of the many paths• People becoming and becoming and
becoming yet again
