An Empirical Look At The Ecumenical Diaconate In The United States, Benjamin L. Hartley Jan 2003

An Empirical Look At The Ecumenical Diaconate In The United States, Benjamin L. Hartley

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

The growth of interest in the "escalating phenomenon" of the diaconate in a number of denominations- predominantly in the North Atlantic region - has been well-documented in ecumenical dialogues, denominational reports, and scholarly publications. A number of articles have placed the diaconate in the larger context of ecclesiological reflection, but an accurate picture of the practical reality of individual deacons and their perceptions about their ministry has rarely been examined beyond anecdotal evidence? A better picture of the views and experiences of deacons is vital for at least two reasons. First, it is necessary to support ecumenical cooperation in the …

John Punshon's Reasons For Hope: The Faith And Future Of The Friends Church*: A Review, Arthur O. Roberts Jan 2003

John Punshon's Reasons For Hope: The Faith And Future Of The Friends Church*: A Review, Arthur O. Roberts

Quaker Religious Thought

In 1969 Elton Trueblood attributed the forfeiture of values in our culture in part to academicians and looked for recovery from the Christian intellectual who “has access to both the reasons of the heart and the reasons of the head” (A Place to Stand, p. 31). Friend John Punshon is such a Christian intellectual. His Reasons for Hope is a tract for the times. In language hortatory as well as analytical the book tugs at heart and mind. I found myself pondering it prayerfully as well as reading it critically.


Enough Is Enough: 24 Hours/Day Is Enough, James Y.S. Wong Jan 2003

Enough Is Enough: 24 Hours/Day Is Enough, James Y.S. Wong

Doctor of Ministry

Today many people are crying for more time. Many pastors are also. The contents of this writing endeavor to address the issue of time starvation among overworked pastors.

The discussions and solutions provided in this writing fit into the shared values of pastoral ministry: a) our faithfulness to our ministerial call; b) our dedication to the Lord; and c) our love for His church and His people. Based upon these …
