Typescript.



A theological school's ability to achieve responsiveness in a changing environment is based on many factors. This study explores the role of governance in assuring responsiveness in various contexts, including Asia, the Caribbean, Eurasia, and Latin America. This study focuses on the work of boards in interpreting external needs and assuring appropriate internal institutional response to assure responsiveness. The study found that factors contributing to effective governance include the presence of responsive interaction with context, the presence of a community of trust, alignment of the various parts of the organization, adequate planning for transitions, and a commitment to transformational education.
