Kings College London Research Based Thesis For the Degree of Doctor of Theology and Ministry DThMin: Can Discourse Analysis Contribute to a Theology of Preaching: A Case Study of Four Senior Anglican Clergy Ann Beatrice Chapman Department of Education and Professional Studies July 2012 1 Acknowledgements Over the time that this thesis has taken to develop and come into existence my family and friends have been very patient with me. They have listened to my ideas and developments with interest, support and encouragement. Some have not realized that they have been hearing my ideas in the raw. For all of you I would like to say thank you. Others have paid a more direct role and to them I would like to say a special thank you, especially to the congregations that have participated some times willingly and sometimes unknowingly. This thesis has opened up a whole new way of thinking for me, which has changed how I work. There are two very extraordinary people, without whom it would never have been completed. First of all I want to thank my primary supervisor, Professor Celia Roberts. She has taken me from an intuitive understanding of language to recognition that there is so much more to language than I ever knew was possible in a very short time and has worked extremely hard to get me here. Without her patience and encouragement this work would not exist except in the recesses of my mind. Then there is Christine, a remarkable woman whose patience is beyond understanding. Without her the thesis would still be just words on a page. She taught me so much about the art of coherent writing at the same time as giving me confidence in what I was trying to do. Thank you Christine. 2 Can Discourse Analysis Contribute to a Theology of Preaching: A Case Study of Four Senior Anglican Clergy. Abstract The work of the educationalist Paulo Freire recognizes the importance of relationship and participation in the process of learning. This thesis is an inquiry into the nature of preaching a sermon and the potential impact different modes of the delivery can make. It uses the work of Rose and Bourdieu to form a framework into which the development of relationship and participation can be placed. This thesis aims to break new ground by demonstrating the value of using Discourse Analysis as a powerful tool to be used in the preparation and delivering of sermons. The performances of sermons by four senior Anglican clergy are examined using different forms of discourse analysis. The main tool used here is James Paul Gee’s approach to linguistic analysis of narrative. The thesis examines the different methods and language presented in the case-study sermons and the similar strategies that are used in different ways to maintain authority whilst encouraging listeners to participate. It also takes into account the social nature of language. Not only are the texts scrutinized but also the performance. The ensuing discussion attempts to understand how each preacher uses poetic and rhetorical performance strategies and linguistic techniques to draw listeners into participation. It also considers if they overcome the tension between equality and authority in order to enable listeners to experience the mystery of God. This deliberation considers how preachers demonstrate their underlying purpose of 3 preaching by comparing their strategy with Rose’s four categories of preaching. The culmination of the thesis is the recognition that homiletics would benefit from an understanding of discourse analysis and performance. 4 Contents Title Page 1 Acknowledgements 2 Abstract 3 Chapter 1 Introduction 7 2 Literature Review 19 3 Methodology 44 4 Homiletics and Discourse Analysis 55 5 Thematic Analysis 129 6 Conclusion 166 Appendices 176 Bibliography 247 5 Appendices Appendix 1: The Archbishop of Canterbury’s text as verse 176 marked with lines, stanzas and strophes 2: The Dean of Ripon Cathedral’s text as verse 185 marked with lines, stanzas and strophes 3: The Dean of Ripon Cathedrals sermon showing 200 the mainline theme 4: The Archbishop of York’s text as verse 203 marked with lines, stanzas and strophes 5: The Archbishop of York’s sermon: a ‘reading’ 218 of the focused material for each stanza 6: The Bishop of Knaresborough’s text as verse 222 marked with lines, stanzas and strophes 7: The Bishop of Knaresborough’s mainline themes 233 8: A comparison of the four sermons 236 9: Further biographical details on the four senior clergy 240 10: Areas covered in the DThMin Programme 243 6 Chapter 1 Introduction The major focus of this thesis is the use by the discipline of homiletics of the sociological material found in discourse analysis. Using discourse analysis to discover the sociolinguistic context behind sermonic language offers new insights for the teaching of homiletics. Ultimately it raises the question: what is happening when a sermon is preached? The research undertaken here seeks to put aside the ‘point of writing’ of a sermon and to examine its delivery and the different linguistic and discourse structures used to create a performance The work of many scholars both in theology and in the field of linguistics have been studied in order to provide a structure within which to use discourse analysis as the major tool. The aim of the thesis is to advance the understanding of the methods that can be used to aid the preacher to communicate more effectively with her/his congregation and, therefore, hopefully to enable both her and her listeners to move forward together in their faith. A sermon is a fundamental part of any act of worship. Its purpose is to enable those taking part to draw closer to God. Those who preach most weeks, navigating between stories past and present, are in a unique relationship to their listeners, helping to shape their theology by recalling God’s past revelation in Scripture and reflecting on the possibilities of his involvement in the present. The words that preachers use and how they relate to their listeners is essential to how those listeners grasp the mystery of God and recognize God’s participation in their lives. 7 The radical educationalist Paulo Freire believed that the relationship between teacher and student is crucial to learning. His pioneering view was that through the right kind of education, avoiding authoritarian teacher-pupil models and based on the actual experiences of the students and continual shared investigation, every human being, no matter what their status, could develop a new awareness of self, freeing them to be more than passive objects responding to uncontrollable change (Freire, 1993). The question is: does this approach to teaching have any relevance for those who deliver sermons? If the purpose of preaching is to enable listeners to understand how faith relates to their everyday life then Freire’s relational view of teaching offers preachers a place to begin.

This bibliography follows on from the last, which was finished in 2002 and covered 1945 to 2000. Aside from a few small details, the format and design are those of the original, and most of the same categories and classifications are still with us. Thus it is hardly necessary to repeat that first Introduction, which can still be consulted. The scope of this bibliography is not quite so precise as that of the last. There is a fuzzy join between the two in 2000-2001. With the flow of information that Merton constantly generates, it is difficult to be precise. The closing of this one occurs in a momentous year, and has an exact date: April 24, 2015, with the arrival of the Merton Annual 27 (2014).
