Mark Lau Branson is the Homer Goddard Professor of Ministry of the Laity at Fuller Theological Seminary. He focuses on contexts and leadership, and how God's people can attend to God's initiatives. He is the author of Memories, Hopes & Conversations: Appreciative Inquiry, Missional Engagement, & Congregational Change, and (with Juan Martinez) Churches, Cultures and Leadership. Alan J. Roxburgh is a pastor, seminary professor, and mentor in leadership and missional transformation, and has written thirteen books on missional leadership and culture change. In his work he addresses questions of church and mission, convinced the Spirit is fermenting a movement of God's people that can't be contained in narratives of renewal, reform, or fixing existing systems.
