The church's forgotten soul : a sonata for beauty in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Abstract

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has forgotten its soul by disregarding the beauty that is intrinsic to its theology and mission. By diagnosing the problem of soul within the history of the Disciples of Christ and identifying the kind of beauty that is intrinsic to this tradition, I move towards a reconstruction of a Disciples theology of beauty that will help address this problem of soul for the present-day Disciples churches
