As I was reflecting on the design and management of the 'Connect09' effort which the Diocese undertook last year, I came across this blog entry on the danger of 'management by slogan'.
I wonder to what extent C09 was the result of an analysis of the system deficiencies that lead to the need to connect, and what system changes were made to correct the deficiencies. Unfortunately, my experience of C09 is that it amounted to substantial amounts of 'more of the same' which did nothing to either analyse or correct that which has broken the connections between the Anglican church and the community which I saw in existance in the 1960s and 1970s.
What, I wonder, happened?
