- Abstract
- The dissertation reports the results of an experiment in practical theology in the Appalachian region of SE Kentucky. The experiment represented an attempt to move a mainline local church toward a more activist mission orientation in relation to its social and economic context. It explores the thesis that pastoral leadership which aims at engaging church leaders in theological reflection about their identity and context will lead to an experience of revitalization. The experiment in interpretive guidance failed to achieve significant change in the mission orientation of this church toward its community. However, the experiment did succeed in allowing members of the ministry group to begin to experience a greater degree of community by creating a greater awareness of the ways self-reliance and privatization were inhibiting that very mission.
