Some members take the 'traditional' approach, seeking God's individual will in their lives. Others take the 'way of wisdom', seeking wise decisions in their choices. Blending the two approaches has led to difficulties at Grace. In this paper, the author contends that the 'way of wisdom' best reflects a biblical model of decision-making. He designed this dissertation to explore the impact of a traditional view upon many of the church's members. Data for this study is taken from a review of literature regarding decision making among Christians, from a survey determining who in the church adheres to the traditional view and from information gained from focus groups composed of church members who take that same view."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["e57e5218-1d34-47f5-b1a5-b84efbc9e61f"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791131349958000640,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:46:05.765Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T15:40:54Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:32:56Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"11040575-0d92-4efe-8892-4bce484cc4da","accessControl_ssim":["ae465c2b-9eaf-4582-bd4d-d52d8b7db4d2"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["The valued impact of advanced formal theological training on leadership development for the African-American pastor in the National Baptist Convention"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T15:40:53Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:37:02Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["780e5552-4130-4237-a379-621fb071464e"],"hasLease_ssim":["245e5090-49d7-4ef8-bb6e-143b3e4e768f"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Donald C Guthrie"],"year_tesim":["2004"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["John Michael Patrick"],"publisher_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["African American Baptists","National Baptist Convention of the United States of America","Clergy--Training of","African American clergy"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This study's purpose is to discover the valued impact of advanced formal theological training on leadership development in the life of the African-American pastor in the National Baptist Convention.

With no curriculum or tools already in place to train and equip church members for this ministry, Stephen Ministry was suggested. To consider the place of Stephen Ministry in the context of Granada, a review of Stephen Ministry in relation to other potential training systems was conducted to shed light on its strengths and weaknesses. The studies served to confirm the choice of Stephen Ministry as the best system for Granada to use.
