“Oh, it’s you again”: Episcopal Visitations as Congregational Development
Episcopal visitations to congregations should be opportunities for congregations and bishops to engage in intentional conversations about congregational development yet these visitations often do not allow for such conversations to take place. Through extensive interviews with bishops this thesis proposes the introduction of a congregational development module into the current practices of bishops as they engage in the ministry of visitations to congregations.
