There is a key passage in a book that I read several years ago, and as I read the book again this passage really speaks to church hiring problems.
The book is a very detailed book on the how, what, who, and why certain business are successful and others are not.
This is a quote from a paragraph dealing with one such successful business:
“Successful companies placed greater weight on character attributes than on specific educational background, practical skills, specialized knowledge, or work experience.”
The church should take note of this fact, and face the hard reality that hiring people based heavily on non-character issues does not work well in the short term if it works at all, and will never work in the long run.
“We judge ourselves by what we are capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.”
Longfellow
