- Abstract
- This project proposes to identify metaphors that could expand, enhance, and enrich the life of one local church and its ministry. The project offers a framework for understanding ministry through use of metaphor. Beginning with the premise that language creates and shapes worldviews and that metaphor in particular is a powerful means of expression, the project explores various works pertaining to metaphor and then moves to analysis of metaphors that have been operative in the life of one local church. These metaphors not only provide a foundation for a common language and common understanding of the congregation, but they also provide a strong means for shifting away from metaphors of constriction and creating new metaphors. The project proposes that a congregation's life may be transformed through shifting of metaphors and introduction of new metaphors.
