dc.description.abstract | Outreach ministries often perpetuate systems of apartheid. Embracing is an alternative
model inviting vulnerability and mutual sharing. John’s gospel is concerned for the faith
of the one reaching out. John 4 will yield the four congruent steps from outreach to
embracing. This project employs a mixed methodology drawn from Richard Osmer’s 4-
step Consensus Model for Practical Theology and Robert O. Brinkerhoff’s Success Case
research method. The success case method brings stories from three actual congregations
who exercise embracing practices. The stories are accompanied by song lyrics that
harken from the receiving end of the apartheid. | en_US |
