Abstract

This study invited the participants at a residential Diocesan Ministry Conference (N = 73) to function as a hermeneutical community engaging in a conversation between the Word of God and the People of God on the theme of discipleship. Building on the SIFT approach to biblical hermeneutics, the participants worked in groups structured according to dominant psychological type preferences: sensing, intuition, feeling and thinking. This process facilitated rich and varied insights into what God may be saying to the People of God about the place of discipleship within the contemporary church, grounded on the Word of God in scripture and, in this case, contextualised within one specific rural diocese.
