Decision making

With the GFC hitting the Anglican Church hard over the last 12 months, some people at the top of our leadership have been called to make some pretty big decisions. I love watching it to be honest. I'm really sorry we lost the money, it's going to make a lot of very decent ministries much much harder to sustain, but the benefit of learning the process of decision making at it's extreme is an incalcuable asset.
Peter Jensen in his Synod address put it very simply- that the way forward is not panic, nor paralysis but prayerful persistance. It's the hardest of the 3 options, but I do believe he is correct ( how can something so alliterated be so spot on? I suppose he is the archbishop...). With my own decision making too I am trying to practice prayerful persistance. It is much more difficult then I first imagined. I often find myself in panic or paralysis. But I think part of it is moving through that...
