Abstract

THESIS: Though the Episcopal Church acknowledges urgency to minister to marginalized Hispanics and similar populations, internal controversies inhibit motivation, competency, and equipment. This thesis proposes Base Christian Communities to fill that need with the purpose of effecting self-determination among marginal people by applying liberation theology based on Jesus' ministry, and parabolic patterns of gestalt psychology reflecting how Jesus taught self-determination. METHOD: Within auspices of the Episcopal Church, the writer researched, implemented, facilitated, and evaluated a base community of marginal people. RESULTS: varied including: church failures; individual successes; unintended consequence of three other base communities, two organized in secular environments.
