This thesis-project, an exercise in practical theology using the Whiteheads' method, reflects on emerging pastoral leadership in a cross-cultural setting. Favoring the insiders' perspective, it explores needs assessment and participant observation as tools for initial (outsider) pastoral listening in a Mexicano Catholic immigrant faith community in southern Colorado. Through a critical review of leadership research and a word study, it relates stakeholder findings to Joseph Rost's relational concept of leadership, as well as to Ronald Heifetz's leadership task of promoting adaptive change. This initial conversation with outsider church officials and insider lay members identifies competencies for promoting cross-cultural collaborative pastoral leadership and proposes practical steps to stakeholders for an improved ministerial praxis.
