                        Billie Alban & Loren Mead Seek Cases / Stories for New Book
                       
                        Billie Alban and Loren Mead are looking for stories and cases from people who have used Future Search, Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry, or other Large Group Methods to work with Faith Communities i.e. Congregations: (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish) Judicatory bodies: Dioceses, Regional Headquarters, National Headquarters, and Theological Seminaries. 
                          
                        Their purpose is to write a book about the use of Large Group Methods, specifically in working with faith based organizations. 


                        If you have done work using large group methods with any of the above faith related organizations, please contact Billie Alban by email: Albanb at aol.com 

                        Please provide your phone number so that Alban or Mead can contact you by phone and learn more about your work.
