- Abstract
- Religious liberals who complain of a diminished sense of spiritual aliveness are examined through a group process that encourages sharing, responding, reading and journaling. The project provides an inside account of such a group's benefits for improving the spiritual well being of an at-risk population in the life of the church. The pastoral methodology of this study involves taking participants seriously as 'living human documents,' introducing them to soulful poetry and creative theology as two methods for surpassing the epistemological barriers that prevent them from reappropriating and reimagining Christian tradition. The goal of the pastoral initiative is to rectify spiritual deadness and irrelevance. In the end a more hopeful story of spiritual well-being is recovered.
