Embodying a Theology of Ministry and Leadership-This book seeks to bring together a person's spiritual vitality in Christ with practical expressions of service, care, and deepening relationships with others. It provides practical steps on how to listen well to God's specific call, develop the art of theological reflection, and apply various leadership perspectives to different contexts. Throughout, Scripture is used to provide a scaffold on which to build ministry and leadership principles that can bring coherence and effectiveness to complex and often confusing situations.Bruce G.

This book focuses on how the Church of the Nazarene has perceived its mission and purpose in the world from beginning days to the present. The book describes the particular reason-to-be of the church and its distinctive character, particularly in relation to its organisational structure, educational philosophy, and missions. It explains some of the ways in which the church has developed its theology from John Wesley, Methodism, and the holiness movement to the twentieth and twenty-first century, and how the church has expanded its ministry of compassion to the world.Floyd T.

De missieverklaring van de Kerk van de Nazarener is het maken van Christusgelijkvormige discipelen onder de volken. "De kernwaarden van de Kerk van de Nazarener omschrijven ons als: Christelijk, Heiligings- en Zendingsgericht" "De zeven karakteristieken van de Kerk van de Nazarener zijn een betekenisvolle eredienst, theologische samenhang, hartstochtelijke evangelisatie, bewust discipelschap, ontwikkeling van kerken, transformerend leiderschap en doelgerichte barmhartigheid." "Het primaire doel van de Kerk van de Nazarener is het verbreiden van het Koninkrijk van God door het bewaren en verkondigen van christelijke heiliging zoals beschreven in de Schriften" "De kritische doelen van de Kerk van de Nazarener zijn 'een heilige christelijke gemeenschap, de bekering van zondaren, de volkomen heiligmaking van de gelovigen, hun groei in heiliging, en de eenvoud en de geestelijke kracht die in de eerste christelijke kerk aanwezig waren, gepaard gaande met de prediking van het evangelie aan de ganse schepping." (19) De Kerk van de Nazarener bestaat om te dienen als een instrument voor de voortgang van het Koninkrijk van God door het verkondigen en onderwijzen van het evangelie over de gehele wereld. Onze duidelijk omschreven opdracht is het bewaren en verspreiden van christelijke heiligheid zoals beschreven in de Schriften, door de bekering van zondaren, het terugbrengen van afvalligen en de volkomen heiligmaking van gelovigen. Ons doel is een geestelijk doel, namelijk het evangeliseren als antwoord op de Grote Opdracht van onze Heer: "Ga dus op weg en maak alle volken tot mijn leerlingen." (Mattheüs 28:19, vgl. Johannes 20:21 en Marcus 16:15). Wij geloven dat dit doel bereikt kan worden door gezamenlijk overeengekomen beleid en werkwijzen, met inbegrip van geloofsartikelen en normen op het gebied van ethiek en levensstijl die de tijd doorstaan hebben. Deze editie 2017-2021 van het Handboek bevat een kort historisch overzicht van de kerk; de kerkelijke constitutie, die onze geloofsartikelen, ons begrip van kerk-zijn, het Convenant van Christelijk Karakter voor een heilig leven, en de grondprincipes van organisatie en bestuur bevat; het Convenant van Christelijk Gedrag, dat essentiële onderwerpen in onze hedendaagse samenleving bespreekt; en het beleid van de kerk ten aanzien van de plaatselijke-, districts- en algemene kerkelijke organisatie.

About the bookAs a member of the Wesleyan family of churches, the Church of the Nazarene centres our understanding of the Christian faith in a loving relationship with God. 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.About the AuthorDavid 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. He pastored Nazarene churches in Scotland, England and Australia before coming to the college in 1997. His latest book, The Life of God in the Soul, has recently been published by Paternoster.About the SeriesScripture tells us that believers are "a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9). 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.Welcome to this journey of transformation!
