The Minor Prophets communicated during times of natural and national crises.  Much misunderstanding still exists concerning the biblical role of a prophet and the nature of prophetic speech.  The work is concerned with the questions raised by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and the evangelical response both in print and the pulpit.  A primary premise of the work is that there was/is a misunderstanding or denial of the possible chastising role of God upon the USA in 9/11.  Prior to 9/11 many evangelical pastors and spokespersons decried the sins of America and warned of possible and even deserved judgment. When a national crisis such as 9/11 occurred, however, which seems to parallel the circumstances that God used to gain the attention of an errant nation in the Bible, many of these same pastors were either silent concerning judgment or vigorously promoted patriotism and 'just-war' retaliation against perceived enemies.  The goal of this thesis is to encourage pastors to consider God's possible chastisement of the nation, and to help pastors avoid common 'pitfalls' when preaching prophetically."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791130427783643136,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:31:26.311Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:06:00Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:52:53Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"2f78cb06-721e-4269-93c1-928a9ab3baff","accessControl_ssim":["761a70cc-6b59-4949-8114-e3164b99e51d"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Providing effective pastoral care and counseling in a growing congregation through shared ministry models"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:59Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:30:47Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["0bbd42a1-6b97-492a-9dea-d6fbe7fa28d2"],"hasLease_ssim":["9e59087c-5a3f-498b-b0cc-9bd0606c41a7"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Claremont School of Theology"],"advisor_tesim":["Kathleen J Greider"],"year_tesim":["2005"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Betty R Stapleford"],"publisher_tesim":["School of Theology at Claremont"],"subject_tesim":["Unitarian Universalist Association","Church membership","Pastoral counseling"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The problem addressed by this project is the difficulty for a minister in providing effective pastoral care and counseling when his or her church reaches 'program size,' having a total Sunday morning attendance of 150 to 400.

Instead, it has tended to rely upon approaches which focus primarily on conveying information, especially that which is distinctive to Adventism, leaving spiritual formation to somehow occur as a by-product. This project proposes a practice-based approach to the process of preparing people for membership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This approach is primarily designed around spiritual practices, but it also provides for the full engagement of the church's fundamental doctrinal beliefs. Drawing from the works of Clifford Geertz, Alasdair MacIntyre, Craig Dykstra, Dorothy Bass, Miroslav Volf, and their colleagues, a model of spiritual practices is developed and explained. This model is then placed in conversation with approaches currently in use by Seventh-day Adventists. As a part of this dialogue, pastors in the Southeastern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists are surveyed to surface areas of concurrence with, or resistance to, the idea of a practice-centered approach. Next, possibilities are explored for developing an approach that would suggest a list of practices central to Seventh-day Adventist experience, which, when engaged, would also provide a context for reflecting upon the fundamental points of church doctrine. Finally, a description of what this approach might look like in the context of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is suggested, based on the practices of engaging scripture, awareness, Sabbath observance, wholeness, anticipation, worship, discernment, hospitality, service, and community."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Claremont School of Theology"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["e7e2d3cb-fc51-4ba5-a7fd-d43f3f8c150b"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791132070747045888,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:57:33.163Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:30Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:36:13Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"4a040ab4-bded-4352-95e2-09beafeff1cc","accessControl_ssim":["f668fb35-0efd-42d4-8532-c6e9216fb3cf"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Preaching for spiritual growth: using Jesus' metaphors to shape sermon applications"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:29Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T00:17:53Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["7732e3e3-6d4f-45d1-90a2-159282fdfda7"],"hasLease_ssim":["a7252136-03cb-4509-941c-2d0bbf0691ab"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Haddon W Robinson"],"year_tesim":["2004"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Richard A Griffin"],"keyword_tesim":["Jesus Christ--Teachings"],"publisher_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Faith development","Sermons"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["Whenever our listeners think about their interactions with God, they will think using the tools we give them.  What we truly think shapes our decisions and our behavior.  Over the last two decades, cognitive scientists have developed a strong body of research to argue that whenever we think about abstract concepts, such as Spiritual growth, we use metaphors to think with.  And while metaphors enable us to think about abstractions; they also shape our thinking about those abstractions. Evangelical preachers, by and large, give their listeners performance-based metaphors for thinking about their interactions with God.  Sermon applications typically emphasize 'steps to attain X'--where 'X' is the goal for that particular sermon. This activates a ladder or staircase metaphor in their listeners' thinking--a metaphor that emphasizes effort. By understanding how metaphors work, how metaphors shape our thinking, and Jesus' metaphors, Evangelical preachers can develop sermon applications that will assist, rather than hinder, their listener's Spiritual growth."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791130732781895680,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:36:17.180Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:30Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:40:44Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"5ea8f562-3eb1-4aea-9b66-95255372d553","accessControl_ssim":["a1e3206d-5a7d-43b6-8999-7129dd5fd537"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Preaching that mobilizes a church community to reach an unchurched postmodern community for Christ"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:05:30Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T00:54:54Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["232c84dd-bcaa-4843-b661-41e72581f275"],"hasLease_ssim":["5ef2aea2-6d7c-40d1-9ba5-5a951ba73909"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Sid Buzzell"],"year_tesim":["2004"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["K Bradley Smith"],"publisher_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Postmodernism","Preaching"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["Looking at the sweeping changes in American culture due to the influence of postmodern thought, this Thesis-Project seeks to help Christian preachers communicate biblical truth in a relevant manner.

However, rarely do they achieve a balanced blend of all three relationships in mission.  The thesis of this paper is that a western evangelical mission society could remain centrally committed to pioneer missions (mission-to-world), while also nurturing healthy mission-with-church and mission-with-mission relationships. The author hypothesizes that in order to achieve this, the mission society must have a clear identity as a nurturer of pioneer 'apostolic bands' (mission teams), a flexible ecclesiological framework centered in foundational New Testament teaching, and an experience of missional interdependence with the new churches and their mission-sending groups based on the 'apostolic bond' (the relationship between the gospel messenger and those who receive Christ through that person or group).

The Russian Orthodox Church with its lack of spiritual Reformation and its suppression of evangelistic movements could not change the moral values of Russian society.  Because of persecution the Russian Evangelical Church never had the opportunity to affect the society.  Sadly, the Western Christian organizations that came to Russia in the late 1980s were not designed to fit the Russian environment and consequently had no moral impact on the Russian people.  Thus, Russia faces a national dilemma: the need to overcome its chaos and become a true democratic society.  Although past efforts have failed, Christianity still holds the key.  Basic moral values need to be reintroduced in to the conscience and belief system of the Russian people. Only a healthy Christian Church can train up a new generation who will build a governmental and economic system based on the revealed truth of God's Word.  It is the hope of the Russian Center for church Multiplication (RCCM), with its healthy church model, ten principles, evaluation, and accountability tools, that Russia will emerge as a country of moral stability.
