Abstract

As spiritual leaders in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) elders could significantly enhance the quality of education in the church; yet, many elders do not see themselves as teachers and little direction has been provided regarding specific ways they can and should teach. This project presents a conceptual framework for understanding teaching in the church as spiritual formation and offers practical suggestions about how the eldership can more fully participate in that ministry through what they say and do in the weekly celebration of the Lord's Supper, in one-on-one moments of caring, and in the classroom setting.
