Bibliography for Heritage 2013

Servant Leadership Greenleaf, Robert, Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness (Paulist Press, 1977). This book is at the origins of the servant leadership movement. It articulates the basic vision and applies it to institutions in general, trustees, education, business, foundations, and churches. Spears, Larry, ed. Reflections on Leadership: How Robert K. Greenleafs Theory of Servant Leadership Influenced Todays Top Management Thinkers (John Wiley &Sons, Inc. 1995) Spears, Larry, ed., Insights on Leadership: Service, Stewardship, Spirit, and Servant Leadership (John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 1998). Both these books contain multiple essays by organizational gurus on how leadership and service come together. Although they seldom use the word ministry, both the warnings and the perspectives and strategies are closely aligned with the wisdom of spiritual traditions and the ideals associated with ministry. Healing Mission of Jesus Pilch, John, Healing in the New Testament: Insights from Medical and Mediterranean Anthropology (Fortress Press, 2000). This book uses key concepts from medical anthropology and studies of cultural influences to investigate what healing in the New Testament meant. It is a scholarly read, but its supplies the basic approach that can make sense of Catholic Health Cares claim that it is continuing the healing mission of Jesus. Morrill, Bruce, Divine Worship and Human Healing: Liturgical Theology at the Margins of Life and Death (Liturgical Press, 2009) This book is also influenced by medical anthropology and culture studies. It puts these ideas in service of the Catholic sacramental system and explores what rituals contribute to the human experience of sickness, i.e., how they continue the healing mission of Jesus. It has a lot to say to Spiritual Care Departments and how they should position themselves in the whole enterprise of contemporary health care. Morris, David, Illness and Culture in the Post Modern Age (University of California Press, 1998) This book situates illness in the context of culture and demonstrates how we make meaning around our sicknesses. This is precisely the area where

Catholic Health Care enters. It brings an understanding of health and illness that dialogues with these cultural understandings, affirming some aspects and challenging others. The resulting creation of tradition and culture becomes the permeating context of our organizational efforts of responding to disease with the intention of effecting cures. Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Chapter Two: The Transmission of Divine Revelation. The importance of this document for us is that it recognizes that developments since the founding revelation of God in the event of Jesus Christ can be seen as advancing toward the plentitude of divine truth. The struggles of Catholic Health Care in changing times are more than adapting to social new social conditions. They can be interpreted as the work of the Holy Spirit bringing us into the fullness of what it means to continue the healing mission of Jesus. Skylstad, William, Serving Gods People: Catholic Health Care Must Continue the Tradition of Jesus Ministry of Healing and Caring, Health Progress. May-June, 2008. This article by Bishop Skylstad is a good example of a pastoral leader interpreting Catholic Health Care as a tradition and ministry continuing the healing mission of Jesus and engaging the challenges of contemporary culture. It is not a work of analysis and strategy. Rather it tries to paint on the larger canvas of time, history, and culture for the purposes of inspiration and courage. It is included in our packet. Tradition and Ministry Bouchard, Charles, Health Care as Ministry: Common Usage, Confused Theology, Health Progress. May-June 2008. This article traces the use of the word ministry in Catholic theology and practice. It notes the many changes in Catholic Health Care as making the use of this word increasing difficult and its meaning increasingly nuanced. It is included in our packet. Congar, Yves. Tradition and Traditions: An Historical and Theological Essay. New York: Macmillan, 1967. This is the classic text on Tradition in Catholic theology. It deals with all the issues of continuity and change over the course of time. It is explicitly theological, and so sees the Holy Spirit as the ultimate author of the monuments of the Tradition that has been created since the founding of Christianity. Pope Paul VI, Paths of the Church, August 4, 1964.

Many characterize Vatican II as initiating a dialogic openness with the world. Paul VI spells out this dialogue and the attitudes that are necessary to engage in it authentically and effectively. Wall, Barbara Mann, American Catholic Hospitals: A Century of Changing Markets and Missions (Rutgers University Press, 2011). This is a book of history and challenges. Its last line gives the overall project: Challenges await Catholic hospitals in the twenty-first century as they strive to be religious institutions in a secular society. Organizational Storytelling Armstrong, David: Managing by Story Around: A New Method of Leadership. Doubleday, 1992. Brown, John, Denning, Stephen, Groh, Katalina, and Prusak, Larry: Storytelling in Organizations: Why Storytelling is Transforming 21st Century Organizations and Management.

The Strategic Use of Stories in Organizational Communication and Learning. M.E. Sharpe, 2005. Neuhauser, Peg C., Corporate Legends & Lore: The Power of Storytelling As A Management Tool. McGraw-Hill, 1993. Simmons, Annette, The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through Storytelling http://www.storynet.org http://www.storywise.com http://www.groupprocessconsulting.com All these books and websites promote storytelling in organizations as a particularly effective way to communicate key ideas and strategies. But for our purposes in this session, we connect storytelling with heritage. Heritage is closely associated with storytelling because the past is often carried most effectively through the stories we tell of it. We remember people and events who have gone before us and whose influence can still be effective if we tell the stories that capture their wisdom and spirit. Of all these resources, perhaps the most instructive for heritage is Peg C. Neuhausers Corporate Legends & Lore, Chapter 5: Your Corporate Heritage: Sacred Bundle Stories.
