330 _aEquipping for Service: Christian Leadership in Church and Society, by Knud Jørgensen, is written out of decades of experience of leading churches and missions in Ethiopia, Geneva, Norway and Hong Kong. Combining the teaching of Scripture with the insights of contemporary management philosophy, Jørgensen writes in a way which is practical and applicable to anyone in Christian service. As he writes in his introduction, The intention has been to challenge towards a leadership relevant for work in church and mission, and in public and civil society, with special attention to leadership in Church and organisation. Equipping for Service is a gift... a source of wisdom for younger leaders, a sourcebook for more seasoned leaders. From the Preface by Doug Birdsall, The Lausanne Movement Endorsements: Knud Jørgensen has over the years inspired many young and old persons to a life in ministry and mission. This discourse on leadership is deeply rooted in Jørgensen's biblical and scholarly work on contemporary leadership in Church and mission as well as in his own experience as a leader, with a distinct ministry of preaching and teaching, writing and various ways of communication. Ole Chr M Kvarme, Bishop of Oslo, Church of Norway Dr Knud Jørgensen is a great churchman, a faithful missionary for the Gospel and also a theologian of deep thinking. He has the ablility to dig very deep and to present the truth easily to be understood and to be practised by different walks of life. It is my pleasure to see this book published and I highly recommend it. Simon Chow, President of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Hong Kong Knud Jørgensen has developed institutions where leadership is a key issue - in Norway, Africa and Asia. Now he is sharing his thinking and competence on leadership with us. It is my prayer that it really will be used! Jørn Lemvik, General Secretary of Digni About the Contributor(s): Knud Jorgensen is Adjunct Professor at the MF Norwegian School of Theology and the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Hong Kong. He was chair of the Edinburgh 2010 Study Process Monitoring Group.
