- Abstract
- The purpose of this program is to discover and shape a prophetic word among local churches. The context is an urban ministry agency of the United Methodist Church working among the urban poor in charleston, west virginia. The most frequent model for 'mission' contact with the local church is interpretation, not prophecy. The prevailing expectation for a missionary is that he or she interpret their work to the local church, not raise prophetic words concerning it. My program found viable ways in which the biblical-theological understanding can be focused in local churches to use their resources. It communicates understandings, awakens consciences, and prompts new directions whisle using the history and stories of local churches. It seeks prophetic faithfulness and humility but tries to avoid prophetic arrogance and judgment by remaining in tune with the biblical prophets but not simply to seek a prophetic way by which the local church may change.
