To weigh its allegiance to Scripture and its effectiveness in current practice, this study overviews what is currently happening in church decision-making, and analyses how decisions were taken 'by discernment' in Scripture. It also examines discernment in church history. Case-study interviews and a field study examination of the Morris/Olsen method are included. The thesis ends with a synthesis of biblical/practical research, and contains recommendations for future action to move God's people toward Scriptural processes of decision-making."],"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_":1791132661037662208,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:06:56.108Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T15:51:13Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:46:47Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"d3de9f03-e908-43db-bf71-b0d38093d306","accessControl_ssim":["b12b80e4-2108-4729-9413-ea58f0669bac"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["The role of the Holy Spirit in local church leadership decision-making processes"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T15:51:12Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:11:06Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["875df987-e3c0-421c-a6da-63d48d2999c1"],"hasLease_ssim":["9b1585b4-a8ff-49b8-b5a0-08325f4bb5b1"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Ashland Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Neal May"],"year_tesim":["2013"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Wilson Mugambi M'Arinii"],"publisher_tesim":["Ashland Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["African Methodist Episcopal Church","Decision making","United Methodist Church","Holy Spirit--History of doctrines"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The purpose of this project is to discover to what extent a select group of local African Methodist Episcopal Church in North Ohio Conference, and the United methodist Churches in the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference, depend on the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the decision-making process.

The two topics of hearing the voice of God in community and consensus-based decision-making were explored. An action plan for the future ministry of the church was developed.
