Abstract

This study examines the experience of Irish planters who worked bivocationally in order to see if this may be a more viable option for future Irish Presbyterian planting strategy. The study looked at how the planter and plant were affected by the leader's vocational status. The literature review is comprised of relevant church planting literature, literature concerning work and the interplay of vocation, and the history of the Irish Presbyterian Church. For the purpose of qualitative research, ten planters and five others participated in informal semi-structured interviews. It was discovered that bivocationalism, although not without its difficulties, could contribute to the planting process in several key ways.
