Abstract

This dissertation project addresses the challenge accepted by a traditional inner-urban Australian Protestant parish to minister more authentically with people in poverty. This work is theological and community-developmental in scope. It describes and critiques parish interaction with a target group of single parents in public housing. Recurring use of four key research questions and survey data is central. A rediscovery of parish identity in relation to poor people was catalysed and informed. Adult Christian education was more focused to local community issues and linked intentionally with social analysis. New coalitions were forged around job-skills brokerage and pastoral care.
