Field of Action:

Myself and members of the committee investigating a “Center for Discipleship” that will be associated with McMurry University . That committee is made up of the McMurry President, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Vice President of Institutional Advancement, the Vice President of Information Services (me), the Chair of the Religion Department, the University Chaplin, 2 Board of Trustee members, the District Superintendent for the Abilene district of the United Methodist church, and a local pastor.

This center was already in the planning stages before I began looking at this Action Research Project. After some discussions it seems a logical entity to house the lay leadership training because the CLM is not a true degree program and therefore it would be better handled by a “Center for Discipleship.”
