La adoración en tiempos difíciles: Un liderazgo inteligente durante tiempos de crisis, conflicto o transición
Para muchas congregaciones, la adoración es el principal acontecimiento de la semana. Aunque los cristianos adoran de manera individual y con frecuencia lo hacen fuera del santuario, el servicio semanal de adoración es el momento en que, más que en cualquier otro tiempo, la congregación se reúne y expresa su identidad. Así que cuando una congregación está experimentando una situación difícil, los síntomas de dicha situación están destinados a aparecer en la adoración. Los líderes de la congregación deben discernir con cuidado cuál es la mejor manera de llevar a cabo la adoración durante este tiempo. Por último, la adoración puede ser el elemento en la vida congregacional con mayor potencial para ayudar a la congregación durante el proceso de sanidad.
