• W32823625 abstract "is a relatively new form of social ministry that began to appear in North America in the mid-1960's. The term stands for work that is done in a particular community in the name of a cluster of congregations. These clusters generally include two or more congregations of different denominations (and sometimes different faiths). Their overarching goal is to better the fabric of common life in their community.(1) In 1986, sociologist Gordon Seiffertt identified the following five characteristics as common properties of seven community ministries in Louisville, Kentucky: Their governing boards consist for the most part of representatives appointed or elected by each of the participating congregations. Each has an executive director who is directly responsible to its board. Each has an identified office and budget. Each is funded by participant congregations, in addition to some combination of individuals, denominational bodies, government grants/contracts, United Way, foundations, and fees for service. Each operates direct-service projects in addition to other activities, including ongoing programs, economic development, community organization, and various advocacies.(2) In 1983 I chaired the first national consultation on community ministry, which was held in Louisville under the joint auspices of the Commission on Local and Regional Ecumenism of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, several community ministries of the Louisville metropolitan area, and the Kentuckiana Interfaith Community - the local ecumenical and interfaith coordinating group. The second national consultation was also held in Louisville, in 1988, with all the above sponsors plus the Lilly Endowment; the Presbyterian Health, Education, and Welfare Association; the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville; the Board of Home Mission of the Southern Baptist Convention; and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At this second consultation the Interfaith Community Ministry Network was formally constituted. Subsequent national consultations have been held in Pittsburgh (1991), Houston (1993), Philadelphia (1995), and Louisville (1997). Since 1983, smaller regional consultations have been held in locations all over the United States, including twice in Indianapolis, IN; and once each in Lake Geneva, WI; Louis, MO; Louisville; Cleveland, OH; Decatur, IL; Wichita, KS; Knoxville, TN; Denver, CO; and Seattle, WA. A regional meeting was held in Fairhope, AL, in the fall of 1997, and another took place in Rockville, MD, in April, 1998. According to Fred Spannaus, former Executive Director of DOVE in Decatur, the emergence of community ministry was truly a grassroots movement: The form seems to have sprung from the congregational level with little input or encouragement from denominational structures. Unlike some previous movements, laity played a key role in the formation of many ministries, often selling the concept to key clergy leaders. Because the movement is of fairly recent vintage, and because its birth took place far away from the academic environs of universities and seminaries (in cultural distance if not in miles), there is scant literature, scholarly or popular, pertaining to community ministry.(3) Today, there are probably close to 2,000 such ministries scattered across the country in cities, suburbs, small towns, and rural counties. I co-founded one of the grandparents of this movement in 1967 in Suffolk County, Long Island, with Fr. Peter Ryan. Presently, I direct what may be the oldest community ministry in the U.S.A. - the Interfaith Community Council of New Albany, Indiana (1964). In between, I directed Matthews Area Ministries, located in an older suburb of Louisville. St. MAM was founded in 1972. These are all typical community ministries insofar as they were shaped by the needs of their communities. …" @default.
