Abstract:
The thesis research involves the first extensive survey of church extension ministers in the Church of Scotland from 1945 to 1965, who were still living in 1989. Two-thirds of those church extension ministers were surveyed for the database on leadership profiles. The thesis argument begins with an a priori premise. In brief, leadership is essential in beginning a new church. Vital, effective leadership from early church times through present day church history has been a crucial factor in church development. During times of church growth, this leadership is particularly evident, such as that of the reformers during the Reformation. The thesis argument develops leadership profiles of church extension ministers whose church growth ministries were integral to the Church of Scotland's greatest boom of new churches in the twentieth century. The thesis commences with a limited exploration of the Sitz im Leben of the church extension boom years of 1945-1965. One-quarter of Scotland's population was relocated into new housing schemes. Over one hundred church extension charges were begun in a brief twenty-year period. The explanation of the Sitz im Leben traces the visionary call extended to Church of Scotland ministers to establish new churches. The key renewal movements and the individuals who significantly influenced and shaped the vision are identified. The main body of the thesis starts in chapter 2 with a question by question overview and analysis of the database developed in the church extension minister survey. Succeeding chapters 3 through 5 examine additional survey responses and correlate the answers topically. Leadership profiles are deduced from the qualities and traits that emerge from the investigation of ministers' descriptions of their CE charges.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is generally said that modern Korean church leadership has gradually lost its vitality. Since the 1960s, many Korean church leaders have implemented secularised, church-centred, and authoritarian leadership. However, without noticing these fundamental problems, the leaders have identified the crisis with membership stagnation or decline. Such an inadequate or even wrong diagnosis of leadership realities has led to a wrong way of addressing the problem. The Korean church has focused on the development of a methodology for numerical church growth to remedy this membership decline. This study thus aims to construct a contextual yet biblical leadership theology by which the Korean church can evaluate the realities of its leadership appropriately. This aim can be achieved by means of the methodology that is employed in contemporary practical theology. Chapter 2 provides a general understanding of the context in which Korean church leaders have provided leadership by discussing Korean church history from the perspective of the role that dominant leadership images have played. The result demonstrates that a sound theology of church leadership needs to be constructed for the Korean church. Chapter 3 reviews the trends in contemporary practical theology from which the methodology employed by this study is derived. The chapter also surveys the historical development of leadership theories in social science from which theoretical support can be obtained for the critical analysis of Korean church leadership. Chapter 4 develops a systematic theological theory (base theory) for two concepts that play an integral role in this study. PTA (practical theological anthropology) and PTE (practical theological ecclesiology) function as theological foundations for this study. The four-phased methodology that this study employs starts with an analysis of the contextual situation. Chapter 5, as the descriptive phase, gives a statistical analysis of the realities of leadership in the Korean church by using several reports of surveys from reliable research organizations. Chapter 6, as the hemeneutic phase, presents an interpretive endeavour of the empirical results from Chapter 5. Because of the inadequacy of mono-dimensional interpretation, this study attempts to interpret the results of the analysis multi-dimensionally: religio-culturally, socio-politically and economically, and theologically. Chapter 7, as the nonnative phase, demonstrates some theological principles that the current Korean church should develop in order to cope with the present leadership crisis and to choose the right direction for its future. These theological principles can be derived from the statistical analysis and its interpretation in the light of PTA and PTE. The principles are: spirituality, vision, and love. Chapter 8, as the strategic phase, proposes a model of leadership for the Korean church, namely, servant leadership. This model can integrate and reflect the three principles (spirituality, vision, and love) demonstrated in Chapter 7. The Korean church will be on the right path if the principles of a servant approach characterise leadership in the church.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word in die algemeen gese dat die hedendaagse Koreaanse kerkleierskap sy lewenskrag geleidelik verloor het. Sedert die 1960s het baie Koreaanse kerkleiers sekulere leierskap, kerkgesentreerde leierskap en outoritere leierskap gelmplementeer. Sonder om kennis te neem van hierdie basiese probleme, het die leiers egter hul leierskapskrisis toegeskryf aan die stagnasie of afname in lidmaatskap. Dit was 'n ontoereikende of selfs verkeerde diagnose van die probleem. Die Koreanse kerk het deurgaans gefokus op die ontwikkeling van 'n metodologie vir getallegroei in die kerk om die lidmaatskapsafname te probeer regstel. Hierdie navorsing beoog dus om 'n kontekstuele teologiese teorie te ontwikkel waardeur die Koreaanse kerk die realiteite van sy leierskap toepaslik kan evalueer. Hierdie doel kan bereik word deur middel van die metodologie wat in praktiese teologie gebruik word. Hoofstuk 2 bevat 'n beskrywing van die konteks waarin Koreaanse kerkleiers leiding geneem het. Dit beskryf die Koreaanse kerkgeskiedenis vanaf die perspektief van leierskap. Die resultaat demonstreer die noodsaak van 'n kontekstuele teologiese teorie vir kerkleierskap in die Koreaanse kerk. Hoofstuk 3 verskaf 'n oorsig van standpunte in hedendaagse praktiese teologie waaruit die metodologie, wat in hierdie navorsing toegepas is, voortvloei. Die hoofstuk bied ook 'n oorsig oor die historiese ontwikkeling van leierskapsteoriee in die sosiale wetenskap wat teoretiese ondersteuning kan bied vir die voorstelle wat die studie maak. Hoofstuk 4 ontwikkel 'n basisteorie vir twee sleutel konsepte in die studie. 'n PTA (praktiesteologiese antropologie) en 'n PTE (prakties-teologiese ekklesiologie) funksioneer as teologiese basis vir hierdie navorsing. Die vier-fase metodologie wat deur hierdie studie geimplementeer word, begin met 'n analise van die konteks. Hoofstuk 5, as die beskrywende fase, verskaf 'n statistiese analise van die realiteite van die leierskap in die Koreaanse kerk deur verskeie verslae of oorsigte te gebruik afkomstig van betroubare navorsingsorganisasies. Hoofstuk 6, as die hermeneutiese fase, bied 'n poging om die empiriese resultate van Hoofstuk 5 te vertolk. As gevolg van die ontoereikendheid van eendimensionale interpretasie, poog hierdie studie om die resultate van die analise multi-dimensioneel te vertolk: godsdienskultureel, sosio-polities en ekonomies, en teologies. Hoofstuk 7, as die normatiewe fase, demonstreer sommige teologiese beginsels wat die huidige Koreaanse kerk moet ontwikkel om die huidige leierskapskrisis die hoof te bied en die regte rigting vir die toekoms te kies. Hierdie teologiese beginsels kan afgelei word van die statistiese analise en die interpretasie daarvan in die lig van 'n PTA en 'n PTE. Die beginsels is: spiritualiteit, visie en liefde. Hoofstuk 8, as die strategiese fase, stel 'n model van leierskap vir die Koreaanse kerk voor, naamlik diensknegleierskap. Hierdie model kan die drie beginsels integreer en reflekteer (spiritualiteit, visie en liefde) wat in Hoofstuk 7 voorgestel is. Die Koreaanse kerk is op die regte pad as die beginsels van 'n dienskneg benadering leierskap in die kerk kenmerk.

Abstract:
As the poverty rate continues to rise, many individuals seek assistance to help meet basic needs. Previous research has indicated that churches provide a social safety net for those in need, yet some churches choose not to become human service providers. The purpose of this multicase study was to explore how pastoral transformational leadership influences a church's decision to become a provider of human services among African American pastors and churches. Transformational leadership provided the theoretical framework for this study. The purposeful sample included bounded systems of 5 pastors and their respective churches. Each case was bound by race, location, and denomination. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire was used as a tool to identify each pastor's leadership style, and interviews were used to determine how the church becomes a human service provider. Interviews were transcribed, inductively coded, and analyzed to identify recurring themes. The results of this research indicated that the transformational pastor is influential in all aspects of the church's human service initiatives. The transformational pastor plays a key role in determining whether the church becomes involved in human service initiatives, and he or she remains involved throughout initiation, implementation, and sustainability. Findings from this study may influence pastoral leadership training and provide a framework for churches and communities who wish to help meet the social needs in their communities. If churches consistently address poverty-related issues, they can address the underlying problems associated with it. This can result in a decrease in the poverty rate over time. This contribution can potentially help decrease the rate of poverty in the community.

Abstract:

In spite of the prevalence of methods and literature devoted to church health, many churches remain plateaued or are declining. Some churches ignore reality and base their worth and identity on things less than biblical identity and Christian mission. Many declining churches demonstrate an environment similar to the codependency seen in addictive family systems. The published literature has expanded the understanding of the concept of codependency that was traditionally applied to family systems affected by alcohol and substance abuse by applying it to dysfunctional organizational structures. This project builds on this research. It investigated the hypothesis that dysfunctional churches exhibit dynamics similar to codependent family systems. The project adapted the Spann-Fischer Scale for Codependency, and in a pilot study of nine churches, two scales were developed: Church Health (a = .891) and Church Codependency (a = .745). A moderate negative correlation (r = -.431) between these scales supported this hypothesis. It appears that the concept of codependency possesses elements that could assist church leaders to better understand dysfunctional churches. The project suggests a new approach to church health in certain environments and provides a new lens through which those desiring to help the local church grow might view their work.
