Dissertation Committee: Primary Advisor: Michael Gama, DMin Secondary Advisor: Bob Henry, DMin Lead Mentor: MaryKate Morse, PhD Copyright © 2018 by Richard Hovey All rights reserved ii DEDICATION In the process of writing my dissertation, there are many who stood by me and supported me, including a close friend, Dale Empey. Dale shared my passion for the church and ministry. In October of 2017, our Lord God called Dale home following a battle with cancer. Dale, you not only encouraged me in the writing of my dissertation, but you were a confidant and partner in ministry, and a friend above all else. I am unsure as to why at this time our Lord and mutual Friend called you home to be with him. Aelred of Rievaulx once wrote: “Here we are, you and I, and I hope that Christ makes a third with us.” We know he did, my friend, we know he did! For this I thank him, and thank you – that our friendship was all the more sweet because it was a spiritual friendship. In due time I will seek another; in the mean time the presence of Christ’s Spirit continues to tarry here as you now tarry there. I dedicate this dissertation to you, Dale, in memory of your dedication to me not only as your pastor but as your friend. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................ v ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... vi CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM ....................................................... 1 CHAPTER 2: A BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PASTORAL ROLE ........... 9 Pastoral Leadership in the Old Testament ............................................................... 12 Pastoral Leadership in the New Testament .............................................................. 20 Shema, Shabbat, Shalom and the Shepherd Role of Jesus ...................................... 26 CHAPTER 3: THE CONTEMPORARY EVANGELICAL PASTOR: HOW DID WE GET HERE? ...................................................................................................................... 38 A Brief History of the Development of the Pastoral Role ........................................ 39 Classical Pastoral Theology ........................................................................................ 45 A Call to Return to Shepherd Leadership ................................................................ 55 CHAPTER 4: A RETURN TO SHEMA, SHABBAT AND SHALOM IN SHEPHERD LEADERSHIP .................................................................................................................. 59 A Pastor’s Passion: Living the Shema ....................................................................... 59 A Pastor’s Rest: Practicing Shabbat ......................................................................... 77 A Pastor’s Peace: Finding Shalom ............................................................................. 86 CHAPTER 5: A CHURCH IN NEED OF RENEWAL .................................................. 91 Converting Church ..................................................................................................... 91 Evangelical Foundations: Moving Forward, Looking Back ................................. 104 CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 121 A Profound Realization ............................................................................................ 127 A Profound Rest ........................................................................................................ 130 A Profound Risk ........................................................................................................ 132 A Shepherd and the Sheep ....................................................................................... 134 BIBLIOGRAPHY ........................................................................................................... 140 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many who have helped me reach this point of having completed my dissertation, a handful of whom I would like to take the space here to thank. First, a thank you to my family who has put up with me during this process. To my wife, Julie, I promise I have no plans to pursue any further degrees; thanks for not only allowing but helping me get this far. To my girls (Maria, Jennifer, and Andrea), I thank you for making this journey easy with your grace and patience as I put in some long days. Secondly, a thank you to my church family and elders board who afforded me the time to work on this project, recognizing the direct benefit this will have on my continued ministry among you. (And yes, I plan to stay!). To Dr. Gama – your insights and reflections as my faculty advisor have been beyond helpful in making this paper more than just another project but rather part of my life. You challenged me to write from my heart’s experience in life and ministry. Thank you! Dr. Demoskoff – thank you for taking the time to read my dissertation, offering suggestions and corrections, without which it would not be the paper it is. It has been enjoyable to catch up with you again at this stage of life and to have you as part of this process. To my friend and colleague in ministry, Chrissy Dennis, thank you for your encouragement and accountability in the writing process (realizing I did not always take your good advice!). Thank you as well for your time editing, also without which this paper would not be the quality of writing it is. v ABSTRACT In the Global North there are disparaging figures within evangelicalism for both pastors and the churches they lead. Evangelical pastors have lost their moorings, suffering the consequences of a lost call and purpose in ministry. This has lead to an abandonment of post by the contemporary evangelical pastor in North America, and to a church left to drift in a secular sea. This project will suggest an answer in the return to a true pastoral ministry which will have positive implications for both pastor and church. Chapter 1 will provide an overview of the problem within contemporary evangelical pastoral ministry. This chapter will outline the intrapersonal disconnect that occurs within the pastor’s personal life and vocational calling as well as the interpersonal disconnect between pastor and church body when it comes to calling and purpose. In Chapter 2, the role of leadership within the biblical texts will be outlined, looking at the shepherd leadership expectations within the Old Testament and how these are continued in the New Testament. The themes of Shema, Shabbat and Shalom will be introduced in this chapter, looking at their fulfilment in the Shepherd ministry of Jesus. Chapter 3 will look at the historical development of the pastoral role, review the pastoral role in the classical tradition, with a call to return to the concept of shepherd ministry. Then in Chapter 4, the concepts of Shema, Shabbat, and Shalom shall be addressed in correlation with the contemporary pastor. This shall be followed by, in Chapter 5, providing the context within which the pastor finds him or herself – that of the contemporary evangelicalism and the challenges facing the church. Chapter 6 shall provide a concluding argument inviting the evangelical pastor to return to the profound faith which is part of the evangelical tradition. vi CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM Before the altar of God, at the bedside of the sick, in conversation with troubled souls, befuddled before the biblical text, there is the pastor. Standing in that fateful intersection between God’s people and God, at that risky intersection between Christ and his Body, the church, stands the priests. It is no small thing to be in mediation between God and humanity, to offer the gifts of God’s people, to intercede for the suffering of the world in prayer, rightly to divide the Word

  • Index to Applicants in Marriage Application Books for Hendricks County, Indiana (1905-1950)
    Index to Applicants in Marriage Application Books for Hendricks County, Indiana (1905-1950) Indexed by Meredith Thompson Avon, Indiana 2015 NOTE: This index is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of all the information that was included in the marriage application—you should always consult the actual entry in the marriage application book. BACKGROUND: In May 1905, a new Indiana law took effect, requiring the recording of detailed information about the bride and groom (such as their birthdates and birthplaces, as well as their occupations and information about any previous marriages) as well as information about their parents. In Hendricks County, the information from the marriage applications was initially kept in a separate set of books from the marriage record (which only recorded the names of the bride and groom, the date the marriage was performed, and the name of the person who performed the marriage). This separate set of marriage application books was used in Hendricks County from May 1905 through May 1950; then beginning in June 1950, the application information was recorded in the same set of books as the marriage record. The Archives section of the Hendricks County Government website (www.co.hendricks.in.us) has digital versions of these 1905-1950 marriage application books. The digital versions are also available as part of an Indiana marriage database on FamilySearch (www.familysearch.org). Additionally, these marriage application books have been microfilmed, and that microfilm is available locally at the Plainfield library, as well as the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.

  • Vegetarianism and Human Health
    Vegetarianism and Human Health Usha R. Palaniswamy SUMMARY. Vegetarianism dates back to a time before recorded history and, as many anthropolo- gists believe, most early humans ate primarily plant foods, being more gatherers than hunters. Human diets may be adopted for a variety of reasons, including political, esthetic, moral, environmental and economic concerns, religious beliefs, and a desire to consume a more healthy diet. A major factor influencing the vegetarianism movement in the present time is primarily associated with better health. Epidemiologic data support the association between high intake of vegetables and fruit and low risk of chronic diseases and provide evidence to the profound and long-term health benefits of a primarily vegetarian diet. Vegetables and fruit are rich sources of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber as well as biologically active nonnutrient compounds that have a complementary and often multiple mechanisms of actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, and hypolipidemic properties, and mechanisms that stimulate the human immune system. Because of the critical link established between diet and health, consumers have begun to view food as a means of self-care for health promotion and disease prevention. Functional foods are targeted to address specific health concerns, such as high cholesterol or high blood sugar levels, to obtain a desired health benefit. Functional properties identified in a number of plant species have led to a modern day renaissance for the vegetarian movement. t is often asserted that humans are naturally vegetarian because the human body resembles plant eaters, not carnivores. However, Ihumans are omnivores, capable of eating either meat or plant foods, or general feeders, with more generalized anatomical and physi- ological traits.

Seiple INTRODUCTION PURPOSE For most of my adult life I have lived far from my immediate family and home community. This has helped me to realize the need to keep the bonds of relationship strong. This need increases after one's parents are gone, when there is no longer the normal center of family relatedness they provided. Distance and years also emphasize this. However, this can shift to the relationships with­ in the families of our brothers and sisters and provide a stronger bond of natural involvements. The inroads of more independent living today also call for the careful nurture of these ties. A DIRECTORY cannot provide much that is needed to keep a family spirit strong, but it can forcibly remind us that God has given us to each other in blood ties. It can help to make us aware that we belong to each other. In work­ ing with these materials I have experienced a strong spirit of kinship which is inescapable as one is immersed in the facts about our families.
