Through an intentional small-group, seven-month experiential program of study, the author wanted to determine if group members could be prepared and energized to offer similar small-group opportunities to others within the church. He also wanted to determine if a focused study of one theological school of thought, process theology, could be a catalyst for leadership development. Following the seven-month program, two members of the project team offered ministries of their own. The group's focus on process theology, though having little effect on the members' theological positions, did have a positive effect of increasing their attentiveness to the nuances of theological understandings. Cultural change, if not initiated or fed by a crisis, is very difficult. It happens over time with effective leadership fanning the flames of change where sparks of the Spirit are found.
