This project seeks to discover why many urban parishes tend to adhere to traditional ecclesiastical patterns when their neighborhoods undergo change. It explores the thesis that failure to adapt is due to fear of displacement and the resulting sense of loss of power, control, leadership and prestige. Through a study of relevant literature, a developed theology of change and the results of congregational surveys, the project discovers that failure to adapt is not due to fear of displacement, but to fear of the loss of church and neighborhood. A Consultant Manual is presented to help congregations face transitional communities.
