"The church is at a critical point where change needs to take place. We just can’t keep going the way we’ve been going,” says renowned author and speaker, Chris Lowney, who will be in Melbourne and Ballarat in early September. “We need to foster a culture within the Church that embraces change and which truly values and enables co-responsibility.” Chris Lowney shares his thoughts on leadership, co-responsibility, creativity, accountability and 'guerilla tactics'.
