THE DIFFERENCE TWENTY YEARS MAKES



It has been 22 years since my first local church consultation with St Jude Episcopal Church in Valparaiso, Florida. I prototyped a process of intervention based on the work of Lyle Schaller, Bill Easum and Kennon Callahan. I recommended to St Jude in 1995 that they sell their building and move to a neighboring town. They did not blink. They bought land across the street from Niceville High School, built a new campus, and tripled in size within a few short years.
