Excerpt from Religious Studies for Laymen: Studies in Theology Three things are attempted in the present revision of the First S eries of Studies in Theology. First of all the arrangement of the chapters has been changed. The purpose has been to secure, if possible, a more consist ent order in the presentation of subjects. It has been difficult to do this because each lecture was first given entirely independent of the others, and therefore had no necessary logical connection with them. The purpose only was to consider related lines of thought in order to secure a point of view from which to take up later some of the problems suggested thereby. The present attempt to secure a logical order can be but imperfect for the reason that no such order originally existed.

The purpose only was to consider related lines of thought in order to secure a point of view from which to take up later some of the problems suggested thereby. The present attempt to secure a logical order can be but imperfect for the reason that no such order originally existed. In the next place, there has been a careful revision of the text itself. The main criticism passed upon the earlier work, so far as I can judge, has been that the language used was too much that of the text-book and class room. I have defended the use of some technical terms on the ground that if a real educational advance is to be made, the words most frequently used nowadays in Science and Theology should become a part of the layman's vocabulary. I have come to appreciate more than ever the difficulties under which we labor in attempting, to translate abstract theological questions into the form of everyday thought. However, if these questions are stated in a concrete way, it does not seem to me the task is impossible. In the present attempt to do this I have deliberately used many illustrations which did not appear in the original lectures. It is hoped that the liberal use of illustrations will enable the reader to grasp more easily the points of view here presented. Finally, I have prepared a number of Questions for Study. These are to be used in connection with preparation for the weekly lesson. The answers to most of these questions may be found in the text; but a few others are added which will require original thought.

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.' Duke has served with the Kenya Assemblies of God as church planter, pastor and Bible School teacher in Nairobi, Kenya between 1995 and 2003. 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.

Right across denominational boundaries lay theology is dominated by negatives: the laity simply defined as the non-ordained, the alleged exclusion of the laity from full participation, the sole focus on what they cannot or should not do, and, above all, the total absence of an ecumenical lay theology. In a unique approach, this volume sets out to find ways of overcoming these negatives so predominant in current lay theology. The author explores positions and perspectives put forward in Roman Catholic theology from Vatican II up to the present. These are compared and contrasted with concepts and suggestions of present-day Anglican Theology as well as with those of liberative theologies in Latin America and Asia. Rethinking the content, language, and metaphors of lay theology, in the final part of this volume the author proposes a new image for discussing the Church, a model focusing on the interdependence and collaboration of all the people in the Church. This is then used to sketch out the framework for a new type of lay theology. Imbedded in ecclesiology, in the concept of all believers together being the Church, the author endeavours to suggest a lay theology that is indeed positive, ecumenical and universal.
