Abstract

Currently, there is a critical lack of material involving the integration of a contextually-revelant pastoral theology for Navajo church leaders. Numerous cultural challenges, as well as a deficiency in theological foundations (particularly one that is distinctively Wesleyan-Arminian) warrant such a study. Both a biblical understanding of the church and a clarification of the historical understanding of the role of the pastor comprises the foundation upon which a culturally relevant pastoral theology may be articulated. Therefore, this project proposes: first, to communicate an internally consistent understanding of classical pastoral theology--a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. Secondly, a strategy is included that is culturally appropriate for Navajo leadership. The result is a course unit which integrates pastoral theology addressing specifically Navajo culture. The product is a model for developing leadership that will be culturally relevant and indigenous for the Navajo milieu.
