We focus on practical theology that deals with our life in God and life with the neighbour in God's good creation. Such theology is dynamic, because we continually reflect on our life of faith as we seek to remain faithful to the unchanging Gospel of Christ in an ever-changing world. This book uses the Agreed Statement of Belief as a framework to briefly explore the critical elements of the confession we make together in becoming members of the Church of the Nazarene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid B. McEwan, PhD - Associate Professor of Theology and Pastoral Theology, Director of Research and Academic Dean at Nazarene Theological College in Brisbane. Dr McEwan is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and for the past five years has been the pastor of a Pacific Islander congregation in Logan in addition to his ministry at NTC.

This means that all Christians, in one form or another, are called into places of ministry and leadership. Not only is this a great privilege, it is also a great responsibility. Men and women desiring to serve in church leadership in some capacity undergo basic training to assure that they understand the foundations of the Christian faith and of our Nazarene identity. This includes a deepening knowledge and appreciation of Scripture, Theology, Ministry, Mission, History, and Holiness. Frameworks for Lay Leadership is a series of six books designed to do just that--equip lay leaders for ministry in the Church, whether local, district, or general. These books have the greatest impact when they are read, processed, applied, and contextualised in partnership with a qualified mentor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to this journey of transformation! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFrameworks of Lay Leadership \u003c\/em\u003eSeries: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngaging the Story of God\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExploring a Wesleyan Theology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbodying a Theology of Ministry and Leadership\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEntering the Mission of God\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpressing a Nazarene Identity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbracing a Doctrine of Holiness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53478843121997,"sku":"9781563448690","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/0pj_QG_E9P9781563448690.webp?v=1772651114","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/exploring-a-wesleyan-theology-frameworks-for-lay-leadership-series-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
