Abstract

This dissertation/project presents the thesis that lay spiritual leadership in a local Anglican church should be developed by a strategy that intentionally fosters the discovery, training and growth of the leaders that God has provided, in a supportive fellowship of leaders. The research examines: spiritual leadership processes in the Bible; secular organisational theories on leadership development; church dynamics. Some leadership development principles are identified and applied in the ministry project. A Christian educational design for leadership development incorporating the use of small group experience is presented. The project involved a short-term church leaders development group for lay leaders. Conclusions and recommendations for lay leadership development in an Anglican church are listed.
