In this project I will work with four Atlanta-area congregations. The congregational work will occur in two distinct phases. In phase one, I will collaborate with a team of youth to develop materials that will then be used in phase two, the intergenerational deliberative forum. This first phase draws on the practice of deliberative pedagogy and will engage youth in gathering their peers’ perspectives on the role of the church in climate action, analyzing what they gather, and reflecting theologically on this data through the lens of their own faith traditions. The second phase uses the issue guide created by the youth as the basis for a deliberative forum convened for the entire congregation. Through this deliberative forum, diverse in ages and roles within the church, the congregation will move towards identifying specific actions it wants to take towards climate action as an expression of the church’s mission. In researching the impact of this project, I will use an explanatory mixed-methods design, involving the collection of quantitative data through pre- and post-surveys first and then explaining these results with follow-up qualitative data from focus groups. Insights gained will contribute to a book project tentatively entitled, “Deliberating Theology with Youth.”
