C. Douglas Lewis Center for Church Leadership, Materials Available for Pastoral Feedback and Evaluation The Lewis Center for Church Leadership has produced several handouts to aid the work of committees responsible for evaluating a pastor’s work. One of the handouts reviews the theological foundations of evaluation. Another looks at the purposes and steps of evaluation, stressing the difference between “formative” evaluation that helps a person improve, and “summative” evaluation that draws conclusions about a person’s effectiveness. A third piece provides tips for giving and receiving feedback. And there is also a document that considers effective and ineffective practices for pastor-parish relations committees. The resources are intended to help these committees in their crucial work of encouraging, assessing, and evaluating pastoral leadership. For United Methodist Staff-Parish Relations Committees, to www.churchleadership.com to download these resources:
