This study documents the efforts of the leaders of a small Maine congregation and pastor to reach consensus on the parish's mission, using the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process. The interview questions focused on signs of initiative, insight, and spiritual growth occurring during the pastor's 4-month sabbatical. The exercise did not produce a clear articulation of the parish's mission priorities. Nevertheless, the experience with the AI approach had a positive effect on the congregation's culture.
