Abstract

The project incorporated research into the area of video media that is currently available for church curriculums. Films that were pastoral in theme were the primary focus of this research. A document was completed which addressed the theological and practical considerations of utilizng media in church educational programs, as well as the impact of media upon US culture and churches. The project then addressed the pastoral role the author fulfills within the Churches of Christ while functioning as a hospital chaplain. The development of a 39-minute video directed towards enhancing laity's Christian response to the seriously ill was the final aspect of the project. Resources were utilized to help focus upon script writing, patient interviews, and securing visual supplemental materials. After these components were completed, the editing process began, blending all of these components plus utilizing decision-making skills of the author's hospital experiences and the resource persons' editing expertise. The final result has been a 30-minute video that includes a study guide for further discussion and readings.
