抽象的

The 'early interim' period between the departure of a pastor and the arrival of an interim minister is characterized by elevated congregational anxiety, individual and collective grief, and greater reliance on denominational leaders. Drawing on organizational theory, congregational systems theory, grief and transition research, and interim ministry practice, the author identifies six goals for presbyteries of the PC(USA) to assist congregations during this period. A manual was developed, featuring training modules in Appreciative Inquiry, and other resources to reframe the crisis and to empower lay leadership. Structural strategies include transition teams and temporary supply ministers. Congregational field testing was conducted.
