"I simply went online to Morehouse or CPI to order a desk calendar and an Episopal shield for my car.. I was referred to the Seattle Independent Episcopal Bookstore. To my surprise and delight I received a warm and personal response from John explaining the processing of my order, and when the package arrived a handwritten thank you... all accompanied with "Blessings" from John and Nancy. I was in the care, not of an organization, but of my very own church family, on the opposite coast, offering personal blessings and care, in addition to the items I needed. I can't wait to go to Seattle so I can meet them at the bookstore. Thanks, John and Nancy, and God Bless You! Linda Clapp Training Coordinator for Godly Play Northeast"

In Fill All Things, the author, Robert Gallagher describes four conceptual frameworks that we use to describe the dynamics of the life of a congregation in thousands of Episcopal congregations.

The four frameworks are:
  1. The Christian Life Model
  2. The Benedictine Promise
  3. The Renewal-Apostolate Cycle
  4. Shape of the Parish

Gallagher describes and fills in these conceptual frameworks. Through his words congregational leaders can identify the framework that will work best for them. With the details that are described here they will be able to utilize the model that fits them to enrich the life of the congregation.

Fill All Things

One of the things I like most about Fill All Things is that it gives a practical understanding of how to view the church community. Yes, it of course gives a theory on how Christian communities live and the intent of such communities; moreover it provides us with a way to examine our Christian intent. Through the use of models, frameworks and a variety of lens we can see what shapes our day to day life as well as the world around us. As a consultant working with congregations it is helpful to have a resource where people can put their own situation into a bigger context and then to not only understand but to see how to move forward. To have ideas, questions, and examples to ponder in order to make healthy decisions and is why I recommend this book over and over again.

Comprehensive yet practical tools to strengthen your congregation

Fill All Things is used by the Diocese of Northern Indiana in our Church Development Institute (CDI) training program. It is required reading for all participants and provides a comprehensive and practical set of tools for assessing, planning and evaluating the spiritual and administrative health of a congregation. Teams of clergy and lay leaders representing more than half of our parishes are applying these Core Frameworks to strengthen and enrich their congregations.

This is a Great Vision rooted in our Episcopal Tradition - For all leaders

This is a great book that helps one understand the dynamics of the church. I am a new priest serving as a solo pastor of a small church. This roots all of the "Church Growth" ideas in a firm Episcopal/Anglican tradition. -- This is good for liberals and conservatives. I think that this book is good for Priests, lay leaders, seminarians, bishops, diocesan consultants -- anyone who cares about the future of our church
