“One way or another, every church will eventually lose its pastor or minister yet few congregations prepare for this dramatic event. The pastor’s departure evokes a range of reactions and problems—sorrow and grief, uncertainty, loss of mission and momentum, power struggles—yet no one wants to talk about this elephant in the boardroom.” (taken from the introduction to The Elephant in the Boardroom: Speaking the Unspoken about Pastoral Transitions — see below)
Below are resources dealing with the issue of pastoral succession:
The
Elephant in the Boardroom: Speaking the Unspoken about Pastoral
Transitions by Carolyn
Weese and J. Russell Crabtree is available from Amazon by clicking the
link above. Carolyn Weese and J. Russell Crabtree—experts in the field
of church leadership—have written a nuts-and-bolts guide to developing a
succession plan for smoothing pastoral transitions. Filled with
strategies and solid advice, this handy resource is based in solid
research and the authors’ many years of experience working with churches
in a wide variety of denominations. Weese and Crabtree clearly show that
leadership succession should be part of every church’s planning process
