This shows the (reverse) chronological history of the GGG activities. == The Mission Matrix == The MissionMatrix page shows how we plan to divide up mission across our four OnTheWayTogether themes. Within the OnTheWayTogether page, the concepts and mission of each theme is developed. These are meant to be dynamic pages, changing to reflect the current state of these missional themes. The four themes are: GrowingFaith, InclusiveCommunity, CommunityHub, and CommunityOutreach. = Council Stuff = The CouncilPage is for council agendas and minutes. This is protected, so you will have to create yourself a username/passwd to see it. = Elders Stuff = The EldersPage is for Elders council agendas and minutes. This is protected, so you will have to create yourself a username/passwd to see it. == Why a Wiki? == To see why I'm keen to see the wider use of a wiki in our church, read this interesting article about some recent [[http://www.igi-global.com/marketingdept/newsletter/octnewsletter/journal.html|Wollogong University research]]. It is titled "Creating Successful Knowledge Management Systems Using Wikis", and discuss how wikis are useful to the ''corporate knowledge'' - all that stuff about the running of the church (in our case) that is locked up in peoples' heads, and seldom committed to paper. As the authors say, ''it is in the best interest for management to support the Wiki as a knowledge management system because the Wiki will be maintained by corporate knowledge workers, those who acquire and disseminate living knowledge''. One thing that I think constrains people '''NOT''' to undertake leadership roles in our church is their fear of what they don't know. As Acting Church Council Chair, I have been overwhelmed by the number of things happening in our church of which I was previously quite unaware. We are a big place - it is difficult for any one person to grasp all the nuances of things happening around the congregation. So what do we do? We "leave it to the experts", which is why the same 'usual suspects' bob up in the leadership roles around the church. I have far more faith in human nature than that - I think we can all take on leadership roles, and it is just the fear of the unknown that prevents us. This article suggest how using a wiki can get a handle on the "corporate knowledge" that lies behind a (relatively) large church organization like ours. JohnHurst |
