<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book offers congregational leaders and others the opportunity to explore and implement consensus as a decision-making model. The authors provide a "how-to" resource for persons who want to change how their groups make decisions. Although voting, the "holy way," the "majority rule," and Robert's Rules of Order are deeply entrenched in this country, a consensus is another way to think through, discuss, feel, and arrive at a decision. Patton and Percival provide real-life examples, planning and meeting ideas, and essential steps to develop a consensus decision-making model.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Marcia J.
