There is a programme (or more accurately a way of "doing church") to help churches be more healthy.
It is called "Natural Church Development" - www.ncd-australia.org.au
It works on 30 people from the church doing a survey which is interpreted against the date of hundreds of thousands of other churches who have completed the survey.
It scores eight characteristics of a healthy church and the idea is that the church then begins to work on the characteristic that gained the lowest score, by removing the obstacles that are inhibiting that characteristic.
That gets me to my reading this morning: Isaiah 57;14 "Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
Have a good day,
Peter Clark.
