8 Passions Needed For Church Planting And Church Renewal Impressions From A Church Planting Tour In Australia, Edgar Machel
8 Passions Needed For Church Planting And Church Renewal Impressions From A Church Planting Tour In Australia, Edgar Machel
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
In April 2002 I had the opportunity to be part of a church planting tour in Australia. How are young churches in Australia able to reach secular and a-religious people? How are they different from traditional churches? How much is transferable and how much is culture bound? Those questions accompanied us while we were planning our excursion. The churches we attended and/or studied were Independent, Charismatic, Baptist and Seventh-day Adventist.

What Is Wrong With The Homogeneous Unit Principle?: The Hup In The 21st Century Church, Skip Bell
What Is Wrong With The Homogeneous Unit Principle?: The Hup In The 21st Century Church, Skip Bell
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
If you find the homogeneous unit principle to be controversial, credit Donald McGavran, who launched the church growth movement with his important work, Understanding Church Growth, first published in 1970. McGavran describes this principle: “Men like to become Christians without crossing racial, linguistic, or class barriers.” What exactly did McGavran and other key church growth researchers mean by this principle?
Big Picture Curricula For Multiethnic Ministry, Tom A. Steffen
Big Picture Curricula For Multiethnic Ministry, Tom A. Steffen
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
This article will propose a storied, big-picture approach to multiethnic ministry. It will advocate curriculum that builds a cathedral rather than isolated rooms. Before considering story-based, big-picture curricula I will first look at how the multiethnic church, and other types of churches, relates to the dominate theological themes of unity and diversity.
When The Church Was A Family: Revisioning Christian Community In Light Of Ancient Social Values, Joe Hellerman
When The Church Was A Family: Revisioning Christian Community In Light Of Ancient Social Values, Joe Hellerman
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
Some might attribute the relational crises characterizing our churches solely to individual sin and selfishness. Sin and selfishness, however, have been around since Adam. Why the radical increase in relational breakdown in our society and in our churches today? Something bigger is in the works, and it has to do with the unique orientation of modern Western culture, especially contemporary American society. Ours is a culture which insists to its own destruction that the dreams, goals, and personal fulfillment of the individual deserve a higher priority than the well-being of any group (natural family or church body) or relationship (friendship …

Managing As If Faith Matters, Center For Catholic Studies, Seton Hall University
Center for Catholic Studies Faculty Seminars and Core Curriculum Seminars
As part of the Lilly Endowment "Theological Exploration In Vocation" grant awarded to Seton Hall University, the Center for Catholic Studies sponsored a four-day seminar open to administration, faculty and staff to discern and situate their managerial role as a unique and transformative vocation.
Managing in a university setting poses critical personal questions: As a manager, what kind of person should I strive to become? What kind of organization should I, as a manager or employee, strive to build and maintain? Has my managerial education and formation contributed to a moral outlook that privatizes my faith and insulates my managerial …

Patience And/Or Politics: Augustine And The Crisis At Calama, 408-409, Peter Iver Kaufman
Patience And/Or Politics: Augustine And The Crisis At Calama, 408-409, Peter Iver Kaufman
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
Few scholars would quarrel with Ernst Dassman's observation that early Christian "reserve" toward the political cultures of antiquity--a mixture of difference and indifference, which only occasionally gave way to hostility--turned Christians' outcast status into something of a virtue.Still fewer are likely to dispute the assertion that influential fourth-century Christians unreservedly welcomed the changes that came with Constantine and anticipated the "Christianization" of imperial, if not also local, politics. But evaluations of Augustine's enthusiasm later that century and early the next never fail now to elicit disagreement

Christianity At The Religious Roundtable: Evangelicalism In Conversation With Hinduism, Buddhism And Islam, Jim Lewis, Micah A, Thompson
Christianity At The Religious Roundtable: Evangelicalism In Conversation With Hinduism, Buddhism And Islam, Jim Lewis, Micah A, Thompson
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Works
Reminiscent of E. Stanley Jones's technique of utilizing a roundtable for religious dialogue, Timothy C. Tennent's Christianity st the Religious Roundtable seeks to engage Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim ideas on issues he regards as central to interreligious dialogue. In addition to the doctrine of supreme reality, which he treats in connection with all three traditions, he adds chapters on the topics of the doctrine of creation (Hindu), ethics (Buddhist) and Christ and Incarnation (Muslim). After treating each tradition in these six chapters, he provides three case studies and a conclusion. Beginning with an opening chapter entitled "lnterreligious dialogue: an Evangelical …

Defending Hauerwas, Brad Kallenberg, Terrence W. Tilley, M. Therese Lysaught
Defending Hauerwas, Brad Kallenberg, Terrence W. Tilley, M. Therese Lysaught
Religious Studies Faculty Publications
The commentary begins: Jeffrey Stout and Stanley Hauerwas have long been friends and conversation partners. One would not know that from reading Stout’s “Not of This World” (October 10). Nor does one emerge from Stout’s essay with an accurate sense of Hauerwas’s position.
Stout’s presentation is incomplete in many ways. For example, he labels Hauerwas’s ethic as “perfectionist,” implying that it is, in the words of the article’s title, unrealistic or “not of this world.” However, Stout fails to mention Hauerwas’s untiring emphasis on human sinfulness and-most crucially- the subsequent centrality of the practices of forgiveness and reconciliation. This is …
