design that shifts and changes our culture by:

What is the role of Presbytery Leadership in:1. guiding the Presbytery into a new vision, organizational structure that will change the culture of the Presbytery?2. And what are the Adaptive Challenges we are facing?
PRESENT ADAPTIVE CHALLNGES Due to a multiplicity of issues, many
beyond our control, we do not know how, and may not be able become the
missional, relational, learning community we have envisioned and claimed, on paper,
that we want to be. The way God could send us into our
context for the sake of the kingdom may not occur.
What is at stake for the system –What is the risk of doing nothing?
