The thesis examined was: “Offering excellent continuing education opportunities for pastors positively influences pastoral health; Pastoral health positively influences congregational health.” This study developed a strong theological foundation for pastoral continuing education, then solicited input from four distinct groups in a Delphi study triangulated by responses from a control group. A proposed expansion of continuing education content and delivery was developed from this study, and will be implemented over the next five years at FLBCS."],"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":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"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","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135221599436800,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:47:38.050Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T18:34:06Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:47:08Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"11361c27-9427-4865-a845-3a82f9db7eba","accessControl_ssim":["54a15dce-17e0-495d-a056-5ac340ddd47a"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["The Plan of Salvation: A Fifteen-Week Christological Survey of the Scriptures for Saint John Lutheran Fraser, Michigan"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T18:34:05Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:37:28Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["014b4526-c844-4820-8939-62219f88fc25"],"hasLease_ssim":["373b6116-7205-4ba3-86f9-a662e7350086"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Carl Fickenscher"],"committee_member_tesim":["Peter Scaer","Gifford Grobien"],"year_tesim":["2020"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

While Sunday, the day of resurrection, has always been the primary focus and the most ideal day for the church to gather around the Word and Sacraments, this central activity of the church is not limited to that singular day. As the Large Catechism makes clear “Truly, we Christians ought to make every day such a holy day and devote ourselves only to holy things, that is, to occupy ourselves daily with God’s Word and carry it in our hearts and upon our lips.” (LC I 89)  Unlike our Reformed neighbors Lutherans have not relegated the worship of the church to Sunday only, but traditionally and in keeping with the church catholic have frequently offered the Divine Service and other services of the church during the week. For some this has been done for practical reasons, such as work schedules, or availability. For others, it is a matter of faith. The ongoing and troubling reality of sin in our lives necessitates the need for another opportunity to receive and hear the Gospel. It is through Word and Sacrament that we Christians are made, sustained and comforted over time. Thus, it holds that the church should not be stingy with the gifts of our Lord Christ. Instead it is the contention of this project that the mid-week Divine Service aids in the carrying out of the mission of the church in a fuller and more effective way by helping to form a resilient and faithful Lutheran parish church.\r\nThis Doctor of Ministry project will examine the history and purpose of the mid-week Divine Service, especially within those churches that are descendants of the “Muhlenberg tradition”  and subsequently the General Council. This is the tradition from which the author hails as well as the tradition of the ministry setting for this project. The primary objective of this project is to examine how and why mid-week Divine Services were implemented at Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church, Ephrata PA. Moreover, this project will seek to encourage other Lutheran parish churches, within and outside of the “Muhlenberg tradition” to consider implementing their own mid-week Divine Services in order to form more resilient and faithful parishes and how that may be accomplished."],"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":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"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":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu","ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135364068409344,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:49:53.919Z","score":1.0}],"facets":[{"name":"resource_type_sim","items":[{"value":"D.Min.
