Church Revitalization - a Vision and a Process

How can new life (revitalization!) be nurtured in a church that is stagnating or declining? There can be no quick fix, but this seminar will suggest ways to become a meaningful church in present day Europe. However, you can have the best tools, processes and analysis for church revitalization and still miss God's plan for a church, by increasing its pain and sense of guilt. What mistakes can we avoid and how can we contextualize revitalization in very diverse situations?
