Abstract

This project traces the factors that either aid or detract from the integration of the ministries of evangelism and Christian education. The author's inventory is administered to 141 persons in three Lutheran congregations. The results show that: 1) both ministries should be more thoroughly grounded theologically rather than programmatically; 2) neither the age of the respondents nor the length of their tenure in their church correlate with the intensity of their theological understanding; 3) the congregation to which a respondent belongs does effect their understanding; 4) respondents who show a higher awareness of the activating factor of the gospel, rather than only the distinguishing factor of the law, show a more integrated understanding of the two ministries.
