Abstract

The following ministry project is a model developed to assist pastors in interpreting the vision of the Baptist General Convention of Texas in a way that addresses cultural diversity. Its purpose is to be of benefit to the Project Leader, the participating pastors and the Baptist General Convention of Texas. As a beginning point the project leader will select a group of culturally diverse pastors whose churches cooperate with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. These pastors will attend training sessions designed to assist them in their understanding of vision in general; however, the focus is the vision of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Other training sessions will involve the study of church and community demographics and an examination of the culture of the pastor and his congregation. Finally, the pastors will be encouraged to discover how the vision of the Baptist General Convention of Texas might be relevant in their culture and environment. The vision of the Baptist General Convention of Texas is built around the concept of churches being the presence of Christ in the world. With the world being so culturally diverse, it is important that the vision be made adaptable to every church and every pastor, regardless of their cultural identity.
