  1. COVID-19 Shows the Need to Make Church More Flexible.Jerry Pillay - 2020 - Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 37 (4):266-275.
    The COVID-19 challenge is unprecedented. It has caused enormous trauma, disrupted economies, social life, mass transportation, work and employment, supply chains, leisure, sport, international relations, academic programmes; literally everything. Churches and religious communities have not been spared; they have been severely affected and, in all likelihood, permanently transformed by the pandemic.

  • From proto-missional to mega-church: A critique of ecclesial ‘growth’ in Korea.Yongsoo Lee & Wim A. Dreyer - 2018 - HTS Theological Studies 74 (4):1-7.
    In the last couple of decades, the Korean church experienced a loss of credibility as well as a decrease in membership.

  • Faithful hiring: An exploration of pastoral hiring within the Canadian Evangelical Church.Christopher R. Bonis & Marilyn Naidoo - 2023 - HTS Theological Studies 79 (1):8.
    The pastoral role is a significant leadership function within the global evangelical church and is critical to the ongoing health, nurturing and spiritual development of the church and its members. There is limited literature and reflection on hiring for the church, yet the selection of a pastoral leader is more than an employment exercise as it involves important Christian values, perceptions and priorities of the church and the denomination. This article records a study on pastoral hiring process within a significant (...)
