Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper evaluates a recent study on rural ministry emerging from the USA and assesses its relevance for the rural Church more widely, with specific reference to the UK. The study has the challenging subtitle, ‘moving from anecdotal assumptions to data-derived opportunities’. It is the work of someone who grew up in the farming community and worked as a farmer before becoming a rural minister and then undertaking serious academic research into the connections between rural living and rural ministry. The paper argues that there are two groupings of lessons to be learned from this study. It is worth giving serious attention to research conducted in other cultural contexts and it is worth encouraging others to invest in research of this nature. The rural Church needs such research and the rural Church can benefit from it.KEYWORDS: ResearchRural ChurchMinistryMissionUSA Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMalcolm GrundyThe Revd Canon Dr Malcolm Grundy, grew up in a small rural village, was Team Rector in a market town, and an archdeacon with an area covering the western side of the Yorkshire Dales.

大洋彼岸的农村问题研究
摘要本文评估了最近一项关于美国农村事工的研究,并评估了其对农村教会的相关性,并具体参考了英国。这项研究有一个具有挑战性的副标题,“从轶事假设转向数据衍生的机会”。这是一个在农业社区长大的人的作品,在成为农村部长之前,他是一名农民,然后对农村生活和农村部长之间的联系进行了严肃的学术研究。本文认为,从这项研究中可以得到两组经验教训。值得认真关注在其他文化背景下进行的研究,也值得鼓励他人投资于这种性质的研究。农村教会需要这样的研究,农村教会可以从中受益。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者简介:Malcolm Grundy牧师Malcolm Grundy博士,在一个小村庄长大,是一个集镇的团队负责人,也是约克郡山谷西部地区的副主教。直到最近,他还是约克圣约翰大学哲学与宗教系的访问学者。
