초록/해제  
요약 : Since the 1980's, the term "dechurched" has been used to describe those who once found faith and meaningful religious experience within a congregation, but then left due to negative experiences. When dechurched folks come back to church, they often arrive with anxiety and pain leftover from their previous congregation. City of Refuge, United Church of Christ in San Francisco, CA (COR) is a primarily African-American, urban congregation filled with dechurched and marginalized people—many of whom are also lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender.
초록/해제  
요약 : City of Refuge was founded in 1991 by a small group led by the Rev. Dr. Yvette A. Flunder and joined the United Church of Christ in 1995. The congregation identifies as a "metho-bapta-costal" church that seeks to recover the multi-racial character of the Pentecostal revivals held on Azuza street in 1906. COR is also the lead congregation in a movement of mostly-African American LGBT affirming congregations known as The Fellowship. Helping these "refugees" find home in the congregation is a critical task for COR and The Fellowship.
초록/해제  
요약 : This thesis tests an educational curriculum used for the new members class at COR entitled: Welcome to the SpiritLife. This six-week class provides an opportunity for new members to share their stories of faith and challenge in a safe, private space. It is specifically designed for the dechurched, a group who often need a means for developing and refining their faith. This project evaluated the effectiveness of the class at COR, and then tested the curriculum at College Avenue United Church of Christ in Modesto, CA.
초록/해제  
요약 : College Avenue, like City of Refuge, attracts a number of dechurched people. Though the two congregations are different in many ways, the twin goals of the SpiritLife program are the same: to provide an effective space for dechurched folks to connect more deeply to their local church and to provide an educational experience that will allow dechurched folks to repair and broaden their faith.
