Many of the members are experiencing the challenges of retirement and aging, especially the challenge of facing the repercussions of life choices.  They look to the pastor and the church to minister to their felt needs. In light of the goal to transform them from passive church members to active Christians, the pastor asked the following questions:  How do Korean Christians experience aging and filter the experience of aging through their Korean culture?  Can the pastor start a ministry with senior adults in the congregation that will serve as a model for older adult ministry in the Korean United Methodist churches of the greater Philadelphia area?  The author created a church academy for older adult members where they could be transormed from passive members to active Christians through a series of classes.  He conducted a survey of older adults in the Bensalem Church and the members of the Korean Senior Citizen Association of Greater Philadelphia.  He developed a program for the Academy, and the participants were surveyed at the conclusion of the program. He expects positive influence from the Bensalem Senior Academy year after year and that it will become a model for other Korean-American churches in the area to follow."],"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":["Wesley Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["5a6e4a36-5801-4bff-8e61-86d7489efb4a"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1799719060875771904,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T02:44:05.104Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:13:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:38:20Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"7b1fd785-ac38-468d-8061-ab6677b369d9","accessControl_ssim":["de7acaba-6166-43b0-b88c-bacbe8661b30"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Encountering different cultures: a study of Marian missionary effort in the United States, Great Britain and Brazil"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:13:10Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:45:39Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["15605367-82be-47c3-ab1b-c5f5b679eb48"],"hasLease_ssim":["db2b9130-6a5b-4ddd-a3c7-8407745adc5e"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Oblate School of Theology"],"advisor_tesim":["John C Kemper"],"year_tesim":["2003"],"location_tesim":["Great Britain","Brazil"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Walter M Dziordz"],"publisher_tesim":["Oblate School of Theology"],"subject_tesim":["Marian Fathers","Home missions","Missions"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This paper is concerned with evaluating what happens when missonaries of one culture reach out to another culture for a religious purpose.  Specifically, this is a study of a religious congregation called the Congregation of Marians, with an emphasis on its missionary endeavor in three different countries.  The Marians began as a religious organization in Poland, but over the years started an outreach into countries around the world.  This paper reports the research accomplished by this Marian missionary endeavor, limiting itself to the Marian establishments in the US, Great Britain and Brazil.  The research shows that the Marians are very successful in their Brazilian missions.  In Great Britain the Marians are less successful.  This paper presents reasons for the very different end results in both countries. In Great Britain the Marians reached out to Polish immigrants, and were successful initially in this ministry.  But, since the Marians did not expand their ministries to the larger population, they faced a decreasing ministerial need.  In Brazil, the Marians reached out to the larger population and thrived.  The ultimate goal of this paper was to view Marian cross-cultural outreach.  The Marian effort in the US is viewed in comparison to the two countries just mentioned.  The core research included questionnaires and focus groups in all three countries.  Chapters on the history of the Roman Catholic Church and that of the Marian effort in each country is presented, as well as a theological reflection on mission."],"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":["Miscellaneous"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["4f3e9d5f-fc19-4d44-a264-44b56604eb9a"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791127090744000512,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T06:38:23.862Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:13:05Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-05-22T01:58:44Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"20a8807d-d508-49b4-9e16-9db4c91917bd","accessControl_ssim":["17962f61-ab99-409d-b482-b06786a04f10"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Becoming us: the formation of congregational identity in new church starts in the North Carolina Annual Conference"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:13:05Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:05:56Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["16544d7f-1a33-4f68-adcb-113339b76758"],"hasLease_ssim":["1ccbd06e-754b-44aa-a6ed-08e941b7bf10"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Wesley Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Lewis A Parks"],"year_tesim":["2003"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

A subtext for the study is wrestling with the question, 'What does it mean to be faithful as a Christian preacher in this time and culture?'  A critical review of the purposes of preaching is offered and a series of commonly held expectations or intentions of Christian preaching are clarified.  Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the preacher/researcher engages seven mainline Protestant preachers in an intensive six-week study of their lived experience of being a preacher in an Easter season.  This study helps broaden our understanding of what it means to be a preacher in an Easter season, the praxis of preaching and dynamics at work in being a preacher.  In addition, it offers implications for preachers, preaching and being faithful in this post-modern cultural context."],"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":["Miscellaneous"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["4f3e9d5f-fc19-4d44-a264-44b56604eb9a"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1799721135842000896,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T03:17:03.946Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:11:48Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:52:47Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"98122936-169d-4ff1-b345-a1efba873039","accessControl_ssim":["cedc09d1-6541-4b84-9219-1c2b892edbee"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Projecting worship vitality for the Christian year by focusing through the lens of Advent symbolism"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T08:11:48Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:34:51Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["197ce718-c6e9-4f99-bfe0-61f15374871d"],"hasLease_ssim":["091d897d-35a3-4c22-bbc1-9e093a9da769"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Nazarene Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Judith Schwanz"],"year_tesim":["2003"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["William Brooks Nelson"],"publisher_tesim":["Nazarene Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Worship--Study and teaching","Advent"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["Entering the contemporary debate of worship experience and practice, the author analyzes and evaluates the value of biblical symbols to the worship encounter.
