God’s management consultants: the Church of England turns to bankers for salvation 

Targets have been set. The Church is ill — and business management is going to cure it.

The other is to give business-school training to bishops and deans and, more controversially, to identify a “talent pool” of future leaders — in the official language, people “with exceptional strategic leadership potential for Gospel, Kingdom and Church impact”.

To many in the Church this feels like new ground. The Church of England, they say, should be focused on God, not growth. The Revd Canon Professor Martyn Percy, dean of Christ Church, Oxford, says “Jesus didn’t spend a lot of time going about success.

The idea of a “talent pool” has come under particularly withering attack. The priesthood, says one theologian, is meant to be about service, not self-promotion. The idea of such a pool “doesn’t have a theology”.

No attention is being paid to those Anglicans who don’t go to church at all. Ignore these people, who still care about the institution and feel part of it, and “you can’t remain a national church”.......
