If Entrepreneurs Ran the Church

Publisher Description

How would you run the Church?Many of us can point to things that we would like to change to make the Church more effective in its mission. But we are probably not used to making real-life decisions about how to improve large organizations. Here, Peter Kerridge of Premier Christian Communications Ltd asks eight highly successful entrepreneurs from different Christian traditions how they would set about running the Church. They include the founder of Mumsnet, Carrie Loughton, and the billionaire founder of Christian Vision, Lord Bob Edmiston. These dynamic interviews draw out a fascinating range of ideas with the potential to change our churches for ever.Contributors include: Oliver Pawle, Chairman, FTI Consulting; Joanna Bicknell, founder, Make Believe Ideas; Lord Bob Edmiston, Chair, IM Group; Ray George, owner, DMS Ltd; Carrie Loughton, co-founder, Mumsnet; Grant Masom, Chair, Five Talents International; Jeremy Sharman, private equity fund manager; and David Heron, Deputy Chairman, London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange.
