By Susan Star Paddock
Named The Best Book by a Small Publisher by the Catholic Press Association in May 2004
Susan Star Paddock has written a book about how Appreciative Inquiry is being used in the Catholic Church. As she writes in the book..."As a practicing psychotherapist and organizational consultant, I've used AI with individuals, families, colleges, businesses and non-profits. In 2002, I became deeply concerned about the health of my spiritual home, the Catholic Church. Widespread media coverage of the sex abuse cases led me to realize that the Church was at a choice point. We could pursue the usual course of finding out 'what's wrong with our church' or we could use the energy created by the crisis for an inquiry into what is right with our church. We could begin to have conversations to share what we think the 'life-giving forces' of the Church might be."
