Abstract

The purpose of this Doctor of Ministry project is to enable reflection on the question: 'What does it mean 'to be' the church in the twenty-first century?' As an integral part of the Doctor of Ministry Program the author researched Cultural/Social Change; Change: Reinvention or Renovation?; Theology and the Life of the Church; Tri-unity of Internal Loving Relationships; In Communion with the Triune God; The Bible as Story, and the Church as Transformationist. The author organized and led the related practical project with was a series of reflection sessions on the characteristics of New Testament Community and how these informed what it means 'to be' the Church today. the related preaching for Sunday worship concurrent with these reflection sessions was on the Bible as story in the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospels of Mark. This project was the first step towards achieveing the larger vision of these congregations as pro-active communities of loving relationships, with God, each other and the whole created order, who are called to witness to the Gospel in a continually changing society and culture.
