Sacred Lives: A Study On The Spiritual Needs Of Lgbtq+ Students And Possible Responses By Catholic High Schools, Jennifer Marie Farrell

Doctor of Ministry Doctoral Projects

In this project, I examined the spiritual care offerings available to LGBTQ+ students in Catholic high schools in the state of Washington and potential best practices. Through a convergent mixed methods approach to gathering information on spiritual care, both public and clandestine, I sourced several methods of inquiry to analyze data and make recommendations.

Listening: The Heart Of Welcoming The Stranger In Outreach Ministry, Teddi L. Callahan Jan 2022

Listening: The Heart Of Welcoming The Stranger In Outreach Ministry, Teddi L. Callahan

Doctor of Ministry Doctoral Projects

The purpose of this study was to explore how listening without judging and spiritual direction can create more opportunities for outreach ministers to positively engage with people being viewed as different or as “the stranger.” Although there have been many studies about providing spiritual direction to people identified as experiencing addiction, incarceration, being unhoused, and more, this study was motivated by observing the pain caused to people receiving services in outreach ministry due to being viewed as “the stranger.” In this study, I explored how outreach ministers can work more effectively to engage compassionately with the stranger and begin the …

Home By Another Way: The Possibility Of Reconstructing Spiritual Identity Within The Deconstruction Of Millennial Exvangelical Faith, Lacy Clark Ellman

Doctor of Ministry Doctoral Projects

This doctoral project addresses the phenomenon of faith deconstruction and explores the experiences of millennials in the United States who have left the evangelical church and have found a new spiritual home in alternative forms of spiritual belief and expression, whether inside or outside of Christianity. This phenomenological study seeks to identify the qualities, perspectives, and experiences shared by millennials who have left their evangelical faith of origin and have found new spiritual homes and identities. To support this research, the philosophical concept of deconstruction as introduced by Jacques Derrida is used as a framework along with spiritual development theory …
