The document discusses the concept of "the hyphen" in relation to churches and pastors. It explores how churches have transitioned from premodern to modern to postmodern eras and how pastors navigate their roles as employees of institutions, members of communities, and participants in movements for change. It emphasizes that both institutions and movements are needed for progress, as institutions conserve past gains and movements propose new ways forward. A key challenge is how pastors can live within this tension of the hyphen.

Almost always the [people] who achieve
these fundamental inventions of a new
paradigm have been either very young or
very new to the field whose paradigm they
change.
Thomas S. Kuhn
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

40. "I remember discussions with Bohr which went
through many hours till very late at night and
ended almost in despair; and when at the end of
the discussion I went alone for a walk in the
neighboring park I repeated to myself again
and again the question: Can nature possibly be
so absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic
experiments?... here the foundations of physics
have started moving; and ... this motion has
caused the feeling that the ground would be cut
from science.” Werner Heisenberg

41. “It was as if the ground had
been pulled out from under
one, with no firm foundation
to be seen anywhere, upon
which one could have built.”
Albert Einstein
On his
paradigm shift

42. “A new scientific truth
does not triumph by
convincing its opponents
and making them see the
light, but rather because
its opponents eventually
die, and a new generation
grows up that is familiar
with it.” Max Planck, Scientific

80. From Greg Leffel
Faith Seeking Action: Mission
and Social Movements

81. Movements unite people to create or resist change. Through
them, individuals seek a common voice to challenge, social,
political, economic and cultural powers; movements, in fact,
multiply the power of individual action through their unique
form of collective, non-institutional power. (47-48)
Social movements are non-institutionally organized human
collectives, that put meaningful ideas in play in public
settings, that actively confront existing powers through the
strength of their numbers and the influence of their ideas,
and that grow in size and power by inspiring others to act, in
order to create or resist change (48)
A movement is “a segmented, usually polycephalus cellular
organization composed of unites networked by various
personal, structural, and ideological ties. (50)

82. It takes collective, non-institutional
(or prophetic) power to bring change
to institutions.
You can’t change the
center/inside/priestly without
proposals and pressure from the
margins/outside/prophetic.

83. Movements are diagnostic, prognostic,
and motivational (51)
- They say what’s wrong
- They say what’s needed
- They motivate and mobilize for
concerted action.

84. Movements are context dependent.
In certain periods, fundamental contradictions
in a society’s core understanding of itself
create the possibility of widespread and
socially disruptive change. (52)
Movements exploit opportunity:
1. An active interest among elites in changing
the political structure
2. Conflicts or corruption within elites
3. Events that weaken established social
control (war, disaster, economic collapse)

85. Leffel’s 6 Characteristics of Vibrant Social
Movements

86. 1. Opportunity Structure (Context
Awareness)
Current restraining realities ...
in tension with ...
emerging opportunities.

87. Opportunities:
- Problems needing to be solved
- Elites who hold power, resist change or
promote negative change
- Fissures, Problems among elites that
make the status quo vulnerable
- Values of the movement in conflict with
values of elites
- Potential advocates and allies in
academic, civil society, arts, church,
government, business, science, etc.

88. 2. Rhetorical Framing/Conceptual
Architecture
Movement leaders have to make a conceptual and verbal
case for their movement by answering questions like these:
How do we redefine reality?
How do we disrupt or change current realities?
How do we name our grievances? Articulate our positive
vision for the way forward?
How do we motivate and sustain dissatisfaction with the
status quo, and affection for our shared vision?
How do we justify our aims in terms of 5 lines of moral
argument (Jonathan Haidt): justice, compassion, tradition,
loyalty, and purity?
How is the movement liberating? (liberal)
How is the movement conserving? (conservative)

89. 3. Protest (messaging) strategy
Raising awareness, attracting growing numbers of
participants
Campaigns, tactics, deployments, making demands, public
relations, sustaining conflict, forcing a crisis, managing
internal tensions, managing stigmatization, showing results,
maintaining momentum, not overreacting, defining
acceptable level of disruption,
- Gaining attention - demonstrations, sit-ins, teach-ins, etc.
- Building Networks of Participants and Allies
- Wisely Identifying and Engaging Opponents
Movements must be convergent (creating broad, vigorous
alliances) and insurgent (confronting real problems upheld
by elites and the systems that privilege them).

90. 4. Mobilization Structures & Strategies
- Authority and Decision-Making Structures
- Transparency/Confidentiality, Communication Plans
- Leadership development, Relational Development, Conflict
Management Plans
- Coalition development
- Resource, Technology, Finance Mobilization and
Management
- Evangelism, recruitment, induction
- Renewal and Increase of commitment
- Awareness of levels of commitment (core, activists,
supporters, listeners, opposition, indirect impact, unaware

91. 4. Mobilization Structures & Strategies
Jesus and the 12
- Intense time of modeling, relationship building and vision
sharing
- Contagious passion
- Periodic sending and returning
- Final sending/Succession insured
- Warnings of expected trials, failures, conflicts
- “Polycephalic” structure - connection without control
- Self-organizing units
- Welcoming of new leaders (Paul)
- Reproducible expansion
- Both individual agency and group agency (Paul, Philip,
Antioch)
- Both planning and spontaneity

92. 5. Movement Culture
“Movements are about changing a
society’s lifeway; a movement itself
becomes an experimental field where a
new way of life can be, to some degree,
experienced and where the movement’s
ideals, values and common vision are
put to the test.” (61)

93. 5. Movement culture
- Emotional vibe (fun, serious, angry,
playful, heady, gutsy, etc.)
- Feel of spaces, physical and digital
- Songs, slogans
- Virtues, values, moral ethos
- Dress, Graphics,
- Nicknames, terminology
- Emotion, motivation, motion

94. 6. Participant Biography
How does involvement benefit - or harm -
participants? How does the movement promote
emotional and social sustainability ... avoiding
burnout, squabbles, etc.
How does it contribute to personal formation:
- character
- attitudes
- knowledge
- recovery from trauma
- relationships
- renewal
What do participants gain from being involved?

6. Participant Biography

96. Jesus says the kingdom of God is like gardening (an
organic movement) not warfare (institutional action): It
spreads through seeds ... sown into systems to grow.
The seeds of the message.
The seeds of people who personally embody the message.
The seeds of communities who socially embody the message.

97. Jesus seizes the opportunity structure
provided by conflicted elites
(Pharisees/Sadducees;
Herodians/Zealots) and struggling
masses (Galilee/Judea)

98. He provides rhetorical framing on hillsides, in
houses, on retreats, in public teach-ins, in debates,
through parables, through rituals and practices.
He repeats key themes - commonwealth of God,
life to the full, life of the ages, liberation - rooted
in dynamic tension with tradition.

99. His protest (messaging) strategy includes public
demonstrations (healings & miracles), teach-ins
(sermon on mount), civil disobedience (turning
tables), guerilla theatre (exorcisms), festivals
(feasts & feedings), naming evil (woes), naming
heroes (blessings).

100. He develops a mobilization strategy based
on 3, 12, 70, and multitudes. He entrusts
freely with responsibility and expresses high
confidence in his agents (greater things shall
you do ...)

101. He associates his movement culture
with love, joy, justice, risk, hope,
creativity, courage, service,
willingness to suffer, nonviolence.

102. He provides his disciples challenge, rest,
retreat, encouragement, recovery after
failures. They testify that their participant
biographies have been forever changed for
the better.

108. The Audience Question:
To the churches?
With the churches, to the world?
To the churches and the world?

109. 1. The Bible: In light of how the Bible has been abused up
to this moment, we must find new ways of a) describing
what the Bible is and b) interpreting and applying it to
individual, social, and public life today.
2. The Church: The church must move beyond
preoccupation with its own institutional maintenance
towards forming Christ-like people who become a blessing
to the larger community, and thus embody the message we
proclaim.

110. 3. The Poor: In light of the growing gap between rich and poor, we must
forge multi-faceted partnerships that express compassion, seek justice,
confront exploitation and marginalization, and create opportunity, in our
local and global economies.
4. The Planet: We must expose our current unsustainable lifestyles, pioneer
new regenerative lifestyles, and help create the regenerative economy
needed by the birds of the air, the flowers of the field, the most vulnerable
people, and the ecosystems in which we are all connected.
5. Pluralism: To love our neighbors in today’s world means to learn to
appreciate our neighbors’ diverse religions. We must create new ways of
encountering the other that provide alternatives to both combative
fundamentalism and combative atheism.
6. Peace: After two thousand years, the Christian faith must distinguish
itself not just by advocating for war with less injustice, but by proclaiming
an attainable ideal of peace, along with equipping every Christian as a
practical peacemaker/activist.

111. 7. Equality: Women and men, gay and straight, minority and majority,
alien and native-born, unbeliever and believer, occupied and occupier,
one percent and ninety-nine percent - our world is torn by divisions
that put some in a position of of privilege and power, and others in a
position of disadvantage and danger. Our churches must become
leaders, not laggards, in confronting prejudice and standing for the
dignity and equality of all people.
8. Families, Women, and Children: Families face multiple challenges
today, including greed-based economies that corrode humane values,
exploitive entertainment industries that undermine human dignity, and
patriarchal religious systems that reward a crude form of masculinity.
Churches must support and embody family life that can overcome
these challenges.

112. 9. Business/Economics: Churches must challenge and equip business
and economic leaders to create new forms of business that seek a triple
bottom line - lasting social, environmental, and economic benefit, not
just maximized short-term profit. In a world of rising population and
increasing mechanization, churches must also challenge and equip
business leaders to seek to maximize employment along with profit,
and to discover new ways to reduce economic inequality by expanding
opportunity.
10. Personal Dimensions: Those who articulate demands like these
must make sustainable demands on themselves, through life-giving
personal and communal practices.

123. A leadership lesson
that has helped me
deeply
Becoming a friend to

124. Jogging one morning, listening to a
“motivational tape” -
A quote by Abraham Lincoln:
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this
administration that if at the end... I
have lost every other friend on earth, I
shall at least have one friend left, and
that friend shall be down inside of me.

125. One friend left … a friend to myself:
A sob erupted from me.
The way I talk to myself …
What I expect of myself …
How I respond to my failures …

126. Survival
is under-rated.

127. Becoming a friend to
yourself … Don’t let your
morale go extinct!
1. Acknowledge your pain
to yourself and God.

132. THE LATE SHOW
Jackson Browne (1974)
Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little
they could care
But when you know that you've got a real
friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to
bear.

133. Friends “outside the
system” help you
maintain
a non-anxious presence
inside the system.

134. 3. Give yourself permission
to create or find safe*
places - boundaries for
protection from toxic
people and situations, time
and social space to think
(plausibility structures).

135. Thinking is a social act …

You have to “smoke
what you’re selling.”

141. LIFE MINISTRY

142. 5. Communicate clearly and
redundantly and wisely.
Even if you aren’t certain … you can be
clear.
In the absence
communication, organizations
burn trust.

143. Do not answer badly framed
questions. Reframe them or
deconstruct them.
Ask needed questions.
I have never regretted being
kind.

144. 6. Expect criticism.
Prepare for it in solitude.
Process it with friends.
Respond to it in solitude.
Be thankful for grains of truth
- and opportunities to clarify
your position.

145. A Prayer
Bishop Nikolai
Velimirovic,
Serbian bishop
who spoke out
against Naziism,
was arrested,
and taken to
Dachau.

146. Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even
I bless them and do not curse
them.
Enemies have driven me into your
embrace more than friends
have…

147. Just as a hunted animal finds safer shelter than
an unhunted animal does, so have I, persecuted
by enemies, found the safest sanctuary, having
ensconced myself beneath Your tabernacle,
where neither friends nor enemies can slay my
soul.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless and
do not curse them.
They, rather than I, have confessed my sins
before the world.

148. They have punished me, whenever I have
hesitated to punish myself.
They have tormented me, whenever I have
tried to flee torments.
They have scolded me, whenever I have
flattered myself.
They have spat upon me, whenever I have
filled myself with arrogance.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them
and do not curse them.

149. Whenever I have made myself wise, they have
called me foolish.
Whenever I have made myself mighty, they
have mocked me as though I were a [fly].
Whenever I have wanted to lead people, they
have shoved me into the background.
Whenever I have rushed to enrich myself, they
have prevented me with an iron hand.
Whenever I thought that I would sleep
peacefully, they have wakened me from sleep.

150. Whenever I have tried to build a home for a
long and tranquil life, they have demolished it
and driven me out.
Truly, enemies have cut me loose from the
world and have stretched out my hands to the
hem of your garment.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them
and do not curse them.

151. Bless them and multiply them; multiply them and
make them even more bitterly against me…
So that my heart may become the grave of
my two evil twins: arrogance and anger;
So that I might amass all my treasure in
heaven;
Ah, so that I may for once be freed from self-deception,
which has entangled me in the
dreadful web of illusory life.

152. Enemies have taught me to know what hardly
anyone knows, that a person has no enemies in
the world except himself.
One hates his enemies only when he fails to
realize that they are not enemies, but cruel
friends.
It is truly difficult for me to say who has done
me more good and who has done me more evil
in the world: friends or enemies.
Therefore bless, O Lord, both my friends and
my enemies.

153. … Therefore he freely steps among
them and prays to God for them.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I
bless them and do not curse them.
(available at brianmclaren.net)

154. 7. Lean into God.
Believe God is for you.
Stay in touch - even in doubt.
Maintain first order
disciplines …

155. 8. Admit what you must do,
what you can not not do.
I can not, I will not recant …

156. If some people will not hear
you, will not allow you to
have a voice … that may
constitute your call to go to
other people, people who may
be dying for the chance to
enter into conversation …

157. 9. Allow yourself to be human
- boldly:
Strengths - weaknesses
Work - rest
Intensity - latency
Public - private
Sexuality - Intimacy
Money - family

158. The great martyrs of the faith
didn’t ask their spouses to go
with them.
Mrs. Inqvist
(Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home
Companion)

159. A word from one of my
mentors:
-In your 20’s you think you can be good at
anything.
-In your 30’s you develop strengths and
bolster weaknesses, realizing you’ll never
be good at some things.
-In your 40’s you work to get out of doing
the things you’re not good at.
-So that in your 50’s and beyond you can
focus on what you’re best at.

160. 10. Invest in your professional
development. You’re worth it.
Consultants …
Good Books …
Conferences …
Vacations

161. You don’t have to do this …
but you are needed, and this is
a great adventure … and I
would wish this on my best
friend (if he or she could
handle it).

162. Challenging times can destroy
us … or they can elicit from
us actions and virtues we
didn’t know we were capable
of, as we believe … “All
things are possible with God
… for those who believe.”
