Radical changes in rural America make it an alien land in an urban America. Rural churches long for a former 'golden age;' such longing impedes their becoming vital churches today. Exilic prophets spoke to the grief of the Exile and speak to today's rural churches in exile. Rural churches can find new identity through grief counseling techniques. The project applied grief counseling methods to eight declining rural churches. The project demonstrates that grief is part of rural churches and grief counseling leads to new identity and renewed vitality. The dissertation explores several counseling tools.
