A Theory of Lay Ministry Praxis Kenya Assemblies of God Denomination Nairobi County How can Christian church leaders best empower lay Christians to serve one another in acts of ministry in their respective local churches? High quality lay mutual ministry is judged to be the priority as a church seeks to undertake convincing evangelism. The author embraces the empirical and biblical perspective that, if you believe in the Body of Christ, you must demonstrate it in concrete reality. In this research, Christ's words, that if Christians love one another the world will know that they are Disciples of Christ, is empirically proven as a fundamental principle of the health of the church and its growth. The identity of any local church, the various competencies involved in church leadership, the quality of lay training provided, gift-based ministries and the socio-cultural contexts of a local church - these are, in this order, the determining factors for the effectiveness of lay mutual ministry. They form a critical model of lay ministry that all churches, from all denominations, theological persuasions, geographical locations and socio-cultural contexts from all over the world, will find useful. No church can afford to ignore them. A useful and innovative contribution to this developing area of church growth especially for African style churches but also for the growing number of new 'community style' churches in the UK, many of whom are looking for structures to their lay leadership involvement and training. The emphasis upon mentoring is especially helpful. Although Kenyan in context it has a cross-cultural application and is worthy of a widespread readership. --Dr. Richard Massey. Former Principal of Birmingham Bible Institute, Birmingham Christian College, Selly Oak How do lay people in Kenyan Assemblies of God serve each other? What environments help them do this well? Such are some of this book's key questions. And the key answer? An identity in Christ, rather than ethnicity or culture, is vital. In reaching this and other conclusions, Duke Fitz-Theodore Randolph's ground-breaking research takes congregational studies beyond the West and makes a significant contribution to empirical theology. This book should help with the training of future leaders and the release of lay people into their God-given ministries in Africa and elsewhere. I warmly commend it. --Dr. William P. Atkinson, Senior Lecturer in Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, London School of Theology Duke Fitz-Theodore Randolph is Associate Professor of Ministry, Global University. He is also Founder and Director of Empowerment Missions International, a charity and church ministry operating in the UK and East Africa, established to help put into practice his 'Theory of Lay Ministry Praxis.'

In 2014, he graduated from the University of Bangor, with a Ph.D. Degree in Theology and Religious Studies, concentrating on Practical Theology, with a specialty in Lay Ministry.

"This book lays the groundwork for a whole new theology of the role and mission of the laity in the Church. It is a carefully considered and superbly articulate guide to a future that is already taking shape. The basic characterististics of this ministry of caring are drawn from the pastoral tradition of the Church. When these characteristics are set in a societal context they call for a vigorous love of the world, a new form of lay authority, a spirituality that emerges from the activity of caring, and a community that comes into being with others who also care for society." -- Book jacket.

The author has achieved his goal of providing spiritual and pastoral support for lay ministry by covering a wide spectrum of interests: historical information, spiritual growth, personal reflection, and career choices." - Lay Ministry Newsletter of the National Association for Lay MinistryLay Ministry unmasks the notion for the average Catholic that the consistancy of the tradition is also unquestionably clear. Rademacher routes us from Moses to Paul, from Ignatious to Gregory VII to John Paul II, tracing both the theology and practices that underlie contemporary ministry in the church. The trail is one that few Catholics have ever had the chance to walk, and the end point is far different from the one to which we have become accustomed. Rademacher makes points that must be understood and discussed at every level of the church if the church is to remain vibrant in our own times. The limiting definition of the seven sacraments, the restriction on lay participation in the church, the loss of the spiritual meaning of ministry, the clericalization of the church, the effects of sexism on sacrementality, and an inadequate understanding of the nature of the Christian call are all stones across the door of the tomb that block the resurrection of the church to the fullness of life. Rademacher faces them all, forthrightly and courageously. What's more he makes us face them too. Do I recommend it? I would assign it." - Joan Chittister, O.S.B.

In the last twenty years, the number of texts written on clinical pastoral supervision has accelerated. Thomas St. James O’Connor analyzes these texts, nearly 300 of them, in light of three fundamental questions about the praxis of clinical pastoral supervision: (1)what is distinctive about the praxis? (2)what is an appropriate theological method for the praxis? and, (3)what is an adequate praxis? In doing so, he formulates three approaches: the social science, the hermeneutic and the special interest. Looking at the theology of Charles Gerkin, a pastoral theologian and family therapist, O’Connor develops a conversation between Gerkin’s theology and the texts. The theological methods in the three approaches are critiqued and Gerkin’s praxis/theory/praxis method is endorsed. Case examples are used throughout to illustrate theory and issues discussed and to aid in the presentation of an adequate praxis. Clinical Pastoral Supervision and the Theology of Charles Gerkin provides a unique overview of the history and current state of clinical pastoral supervision and an understanding of its methodology and theological foundations. More than that, it builds on the practical theory of Charles Gerkin, expanding it for immediate use in the practice of ministry.

By sharing personal stories and simple examples, Edward Hahnenberg brings the Bible to life and dusts off ancient church doctrines revealing the many ways our tradition can inspire the work of lay ministers today."
