An Analysis Of The Salt Program, James R. Tusant

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

"We are all parts of Christ's body, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have difficult work to do." Romans 12:4, The Living Bible.

As Christians we are the body of Christ. Our calling as individuals and our mission as a church will be accomplished only so well as each of us, as parts of the body, are functioning in ministry. We each have God-given gifts and we are called to use these gifts in service to each other and the world. This concept of lay ministry and its importance in the life …

A Comparative Analysis Of Pastoral Counseling Practices In Selected Protestant Churches, John C. Simmons

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

As a professional discipline pastoral counseling has increasingly grown toward full maturity. The literature available in the field is vast. A great many books describe the various methods and techniques of pastoral counseling. It is not at all difficult for the student serious in cultivating personal attitudes conducive to the role of pastoral counseling to discover suggestions and directives in the literature. In addition, professional journals on pastoral counseling deal with a wide range of topics from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and counseling. These journals also deal with the integration of psychotherapeutic theory and theological concepts, and they keep …

A Pastor's Guidebook For Effective Pastoral Calling, Douglas O'Neal Dougherty

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There are many phases of the pastoral ministry, each one having a unique and necessary purpose. A high emphasis has always been placed on the pastor as a preacher. Serving as administrator has also been encouraged. Today, the phase of the pastor as counselor has been reaching the forefront. It is true that these are all vital parts of the pastoral ministry, but there is yet another phase that must not be neglected. This is pastoral calling. Without effectively practicing this phase, the pastor's ministry is lacking and incomplete.

The Minister's Role With The Drug Problem, Roger Dennis Wolff

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Because of the increasing use of drugs in this country today, the writer has a deep concern for the potential dangers inherent in the problem. On August 21, 1971, the American Broadcasting Company presented on Channel two in Portland, Oregon, "Heroes and Heroin." On the program they quoted President Nixon, as saying, "drug abuse is America's number one enemy." On June 17, 1971, President Nixon asked congress for 155 million dollars to help stem drug abuse. He described drug addiction as having "assumed the dimensions of a national emergency."

The Pastor As A Counselor: Premarital And Marital, Ronald C. Notbohm

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the United States in 1965, 1,789,000 marriages were performed. In the same year there were 481,000 divorces granted. In addition, less than five out of ten Americans consider their marriage "very happy." And over half of the Americans who did consider themselves to be very happily married felt inadequate as wives or husbands. It is important to notice that since most of those planning on marriage go to the pastor to,perform the ceremony and ask for guidance, many families having marital problems go first to their pastor for help. Dr. Wayne E. Oates has said:

The pastor, regardless of …

The pastoral system in the Society of Friends came as such a radical departure from traditional practices that it seemed to many sincere Friends to be a device of the Devil to destroy the identity of the sons and daughters of George Fox.

Experience has shown that it is not easy to resolve differences within or between groups when misunderstandings are nurtured on dogmatic assertions. The strong feelings engendered by the Great Separations of over a century ago drove t he various branches of Friends to such extremes that each branch felt …
