This document discusses cultivating mission-shaped leaders in a time of change and unpredictability. It argues that the world is no longer stable and predictable, but emergent and constantly changing. Traditional models of church, leadership, and organization are becoming less effective. The document advocates developing an adaptive, missional approach by drawing on the counter-imagination of the Bible, particularly the book of Acts, which presents an alternative vision of the church.
