Abstract

This project thesis examines the question of how Christians can develop integrated spiritual lives which include a real and discernible relationship with God as well as a practice of social holiness and responsibility. Believing that educational and experiential tools can enhance persons' learning and thereby assist in the changing of their attitudes and behaviors, eighteen volunteers were given a series of study materials and activities, and observed and interviewed to note the impact of this work on them. As the volunteers studied the resource, They Walked in the Spirit through reading it and using a study guide in weekly group discussion, worked on questionnaires, completed homework assignments, and evaluated their experience, they noted that they were reminded of the essential nature of an integrated Christian life. During the study and since that time, the volunteers have demonstrated their learning through their renewed lives and the practices of Christian involvement which they have initiated and continued in the local community.
