- Abstract
- A behavioral covenant is an excellent tool for positive social transformation in the local church. It provides the community with a practical discipline for loving one's neighbor by speaking the truth in love. This paper examines the creation and implementation of a behavioral covenant in a declining sixty-year old congregation in the grip of covert and overt bullying. During the four year span studied, 2008-2012, the implementation of the covenant created major impacts, crises, and changes for the pastor, lay-leadership, and congregation. The evidence shows these impacts as empowering, energizing, troubling, disruptive, and regenerative for all involved.
