Abstract

This thesis illustrates how a congregation became more fully a community of theological reflection and experienced more deeply its communal identity when people became conversation partners with each other and the preacher. People were invited into a circle of conversation comprised of four 'moments': individual and Bible text; a group conversation; people's testimonies lifted up in the preaching moment; and talk-back conversation after the sermon. The project was reflected on in light of conversational homiletical theory as described by John McClure, Lucy Rose, Scott Alexander, and Wesley Allen, as well as shared findings from conversation partners in the project.
