Annotation Bliss Browne had given up divinity school to work in an inner-city parish, but found so much resistance to her ministry that she moved to Chicago and chucked social service for corporate banking. She would later become one of the first female priests of the Episcopal Church and the very first to preach at Westminster Abbey in London.
Ms. Browne uses a collection of development efforts based on a thinking process called "appreciative inquiry."
Little known at the time, the movement has since notched success stories around the globe. It has transformed the mental atmosphere of American corporations, nonprofit groups, and poor rural villages. A core belief of the discipline: Instead of looking at what's wrong, people succeed most when they look for what's right.
