The covenant model was chosen because it most clearly defines several significant aspects of the Christian experience.  A believer's position in Christ, privileges, and responsibilities were all important topics of the course.  Chapter 2 defines covenant theology and expresses how this approach is beneficial to all believers. Chapter 3 reveals the foundational nature of all human development, including faith development.  Stage development theory, simply stated, is that all maturity progresses through a series of stages that are hierarchical in nature; meaning that they build upon one another. Christian maturity also depends upon a strong foundation for successful progress.  Chapter 4 presents a course that allows new believers to develop knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will assist them in a life of spiritual growth and discipleship."],"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":["Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["55f1694e-f3f1-43ea-8ca9-da9a2899defe"],"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_":1791127744374898688,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T06:48:47.212Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T03:33:10Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:52:13Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"1e274d1c-8e0e-4f57-ac00-3fd3a3738b39","accessControl_ssim":["db48d296-4b72-4253-9926-686ad3771d90"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Developing relationship skills of members of Crescent Hill Baptist Church, Pickens, South Carolina"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T03:33:09Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:01:22Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["5c17f859-aa69-48b1-8886-b38f614de6d1"],"hasLease_ssim":["a8065ca0-3835-416f-9968-9a0ab4ad0ac7"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["John B Polhill"],"year_tesim":["1994"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Fred H Sanford"],"publisher_tesim":["Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Interpersonal relations","Hospitality--Religious aspects--Christianity"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The purpose of the project was to see if the relationship skills of selected members of Crescent Hill Baptist Church could be made more inviting by teaching them William W Purkey's invitational model.  A historical, biblical and theological study of the doctrine of the image of God was conducted in order to undergird the concept of human worth as taught in Purkey's model.  The social and psychological foundations for the invitational model are also investigated.  A control group and an experimental group each consisting of twenty people were selected from the church.  The experimental group was taught Purkey's model.  Pre/post-tests were given to each group.  The post-test revealed that the experimental group had become more inviting.

It was hoped that the process would enhance personal growth for the participants.  The author shared stories for twelve weeks on Wednesday evenings with the congregation.  Members of the congregation would then divide into small groups and reflect upon the story.  Three instruments were used as pretests and posttests: the Myers-Briggs type indicator, the Tennessee Self-Concept, and the Bem Sex-Role Indicator. Chapter 2 looks at biblical storytelling.  In chapter 3 the focus is upon the ways that storytelling can help individuals to change. The fourth chapter assesses the testing instruments.
