Technology and Change— The Role of the Church

Abstract

The Author has told us that this article has been prepared "....because it may be of interest to other personnel managers to see how the Church is dealing- or perhaps ought to be dealing- with technological change". This is by way of being a considerable understatement. The reader will find this vexed subject attacked in depth from a new and unique angle. He will find that the paper contains suggestions, not only on what the Church ought to be doing, but perhaps on what personnel management in all sectors could be doing to counteract a disaster-prone situation.

'... despite the warnings which have been given, we have remained ignorant of the threats posed by the recent rapid changes in science and technology.'
