Description of When the Center Does Not Hold: Leading in an Age of Polarization
Review 'The challenge of this century is not whether we will face tough and complex choices, live in divided communities, or feel in ourselves and others a powerful fear about the survival of what we may consider the essence of our identities. It is how we will choose to be and lead in the midst of these realities. This book offers a brilliant overview of contemporary dynamics around our divisions--political, social, and religious--and, more importantly, illustrates concrete pathways for how to lead with care, clarity, and understanding while navigating this age of polarization. A more timely volume could not have landed on my desk.' --Dr. John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding, University of Notre Dame 'When the Center Does Not Hold is an important tool for those of us in congregational and denominational systems that seem to be flying apart in the midst of intense polarization. David R. Brubaker and his colleagues offer guidance through the layers of intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and political transformation that need to occur as we seek to build bridges across our polarized divides. I highly recommend this book to leaders who particularly feel they are in over their heads in the waters of intense polarization.' --Rev. Susan Nienaber, District Superintendent, United Methodist Church 'Leading from the center is harder than ever. This timely book will serve as a valued resource for pastors and leaders who find themselves fenced in by the polarizing discourse and practice of our time.' --Rev. Christopher Edmonston, White Memorial Presbyterian Church 'David R. Brubaker and his colleagues combine astute academic insight with compassionate pastoral care to guide us in the difficult challenge of social polarization. This clearly written book will help leaders and others know how to be a positive force for change.' --Dr. Ronald Richardson, Author, Polarization and the Healthier Church Read more About the Author David R.
