The dissertation deals with the specific programming created for working women in a church of 2081 members in Kearney, Nebraska, a community of 21000. It examines women in the American economic scene, and the rapid entrance of women in the job market following WW II. To ease the pressure of combined job and home responsibilities, many women have dropped out of church. The project reflects the process in which First United Methodist Church of Kearney worked at solving this problem. The theological basis was explored in the light of the writings of the Bible and the writers of women's theology of today. Value conflicts were studied and the impact considered. Programs were designed and implemented into ongoing activities of the church. The programs were then evaluated according to effectiveness in meeting specific needs. Survey instruments were designed and used throughout to measure response and evaluate the success of the program changes. A local Commission on the Status and Role of Women was created along National Church Committee lines. Change was not dramatic but did occur: changed congregational attitudes and raised consciousness level of women of the church.
