My dissertation explores the extent to which congregations help their members think theologically about moral issues. Using empirical data from six Presbyterian (PC(USA)) congregations, I analyze how Christian moral discernment is taught in congregations. First, I provide thick descriptions of how (and whether) the congregations teach and model theologically informed moral discernment. I argue that congregations tend not to explicitly teach members how to think theologically about moral discernment. Second, I interpret my findings using theories from the sociology of religion and cognitive linguistics to identify what influences how congregations cultivate and nurture the capacity to think both rigorously and theologically about moral issues. I argue that different practices of moral discernment reveal different congregational theologies. Third, I construct norms for appraising the practice of teaching moral discernment. I address why it is important for congregations to cultivate the capacity to think theologically about moral issues. Finally, I construct guidelines to assist congregations in the practice of cultivating and nurturing the ability of their members to think theologically about moral issues in a rigorous and imaginative manner.
