Abstract
  • For every twenty years I have been following some variation of an annual program planning procedure in the local congregations I have served in the capacity of minister. While some degree of effectiveness has flowed from this process, I have felt an increasing desire to have a more complete understanding of the theological position reflected in the planning approach I have followed. Thus, I have chosen in this Project Report to fulfill this desire by making an ecclesiological study that expresses my theological view of the Church and the relationship of that view to the program planning procedures I have utilized within my tradition of congregational church polity. Therefore, in what I am titling, “An Ecclesiological Rationale of a Congregational Planning Process,” I have sought to pursue my search in the following way. In the first major division of this dissertation, I am presenting the Project Report itself. In it I have made two divisions. In Part A, I deal with the concerns related to making the ecclesiological study I referred to above. Part B is devoted to evaluating the process presented in The Manual…My two-fold purpose for presenting The Manual is: 1, to provide necessary information about the process for conducting my ecclesiological rationale; and 2, so to describe the procedures that some other congregation may use them if it wishes.
