Abstract
  • This project addressed the ministry of translating congregational identity into congregational mission by focusing upon pastoral leadership. Through observation and reflection, participating pastors clarified and defined their perceptions of their churches. They interpreted their observations through stories, characterizations, reflection upon interviews and the development of metaphors. The project tested a model of pastoral leadership focused upon the roles of 'reflective guide' and 'mission initiator.' Analysis of the pastors' perceptions and definitions of ministry issues confirmed that when identity is clarified, potentials and boundaries are seen more clearly. The community's convictions and visions form the basis for developing missionary identity.
