Abstract

This project has been an attempt at illuminating and answering several issues of discernment through research as well as through an examination of the experiences in corporate discernment of a local church planning process. The project shows how congregations discern God's lead in decision making through their daily life situation, social contexts, and various other circumstances. The central task of this project is to trace the path of the planning process that KUMCGW pursued to discern God's plan and analyze the various factors that worked together to attain it. With biblical, theological, and historical research, the varied ways of discernment are summed up in two categories: the realistic/rationalistic way and the pietistic/mystical way of discernment. The author believes that the process of discernment for their long range planning involves working in the cultural context with 'cool heads and listening hearts.'
