Abstract

In line with The United Methodist Church's emphasis on strengthening lay leaders and its charge for administrative committees to engage in 'biblical and theological reflection,' the author designed a retreat featuring Bibliodrama as a method to explore the biblical text. Bibliodrama exercises focused on Moses and Jethro (Exod. 18:1-27), Deborah and Barak (Judg. 4:1-24), and Jesus and the disciples (Mark 10:35-45). Through surveys, questionnaires, and interviews, the author finds that Bibliodrama provides an effective tool to enable lay leaders to participate in biblical and theological reflection on the nature of leadership.[Note about entry: Abstract submitted to the Atla RIM database on behalf of the author.
