German description: Die Krise der Kirche zeigt sich in Mitgliederschwund, wachsender Resignation oder Erschopfung der Engagierten. Sie lasst sich nicht losen durch Fusionen, Ruckzug oder Ruckbau. Aufbruch braucht den Sprung ins Ungewohnte, gewagt im Vertrauen auf Gottes Moglichkeiten. Der Autor hat viele Jahre bundesweit Gemeinden, Kirchenkreise und Landeskirchen in Projekten zur Kirchenentwicklung begleitet und eine Fulle von ermutigenden Erfahrungen gesammelt. Er analysiert die Offenheit der Postmoderne fur das Evangelium, zeigt den Mehrwert regiolokalen Handelns und ermutigt die Kirche zur Netzwerkarbeit. Eine freundliche und beteiligungsoffene Mission wird zur Leitdimension fur die Begegnung mit Indifferenten, Suchenden oder Neugierigen. Wo Kirchenentwicklung und Mission sich erganzen, beginnt der Tanz in die Zukunft. English summary: The church crisis is focused in loosing members and growing exhaustion of clergy and lay people. Merging local churches or withdrawal are no solution. A spirit of optimism can grow from new trust in God’s opportunities. The author has a long time national based experience in setting out with churches, deaneries and dioceses. He evaluates a bundle of encouraging experiences like the openness of postmodernism for the gospel or the surplus value of church cooperation, he portrays the church as network or free zone for relationships. And he claims mission as leading dimension of church development. An open and friendly mission is a guide to encounter unchurched or seeking people. Where church development embraces mission a dance into the future starts.
