Leadership in the Face of Theological Crisis: An Examination of Four Congregations Following General Convention 2003
This thesis will examine the particular response of the Diocese of San Diego and the clergy leadership in four congregations within the diocese to General Convention 2003. Most specifically, this thesis will examine the leadership styles of these clergy in light of their theological positions regarding human sexuality, how they communicated those positions to their congregations and what the fallout was within those congregations with regards to the current crisis sweeping throughout the church regarding human sexuality and biblical interpretation.
