- 1. Name both strengths and barriers in the congregation for
eschatological embodiment of the Kingdom in your
particular place (as you are coming to see them),
substantiating this naming process with the words of
congregants and your participant observation experiences.
- Still see Church as a place
- Biblical knowledge is limited
- Want to do reach out
the local community,
but are not sure how
- Love people and want to serve them
- Still see Church as a place
- 4. Speak to the pastoral
processes of leading this
particular congregation in this
direction.
- We can show the
congregation how to
reach out
- We have the calling
and the training
- We need to be loving and patient
- We need to show Biblical examples, historical
examples as well as current ways that we can
bring Shalom to our community.
- We can show the
congregation how to
reach out
- 2. How does the Story of God interact with what you
are hearing from the congregation and in the
neighborhood? What biblical and theological themes
really address where the congregation finds itself
right now?
- The neighborhood sees
things around them
getting worse. We can be a
"light to the nations".
- Israel was to be a light
- Jesus is the Light. And we enter into His
resurrection through baptism.
- With the help of the Holy
Spirit we are to carry the Light
with us into the world
- The neighborhood sees
things around them
getting worse. We can be a
"light to the nations".
- 3. Paint a compelling picture to energize the
congregation using eschatological imagination
(use language and methods of the poet). This
part of the paper may be submitted as or
accompanied by some type of media
presentation, sermon, or other creative
presentation.
- Applicable video or image that will imagine the congregation
integrating itself into the community. I want to relate this Church
to the to the community as Christ was to the world...incarnational.
This image is Shalom, as in wholeness. I plan to do a simple
animation of it,
