Notes
- Abstract:
- The ministerial concern of this thesis involves theosis or the participation of the faithful in the salvific divine energies of the Holy Spirit. While theosis through the Holy Spirit is the key movement, what effects this movement is the sacramental praxis of the church that illumines the awareness of the parishioners of St. George Greek Orthodox Church to the energies of the Spirit in their everyday lives. Based on its research results, this study concluded that there is a serious need for catechesis concerning the role of the Holy Spirit in the daily and sacramental life of the community and that this need varies among different segments of the parish community. It concludes by proposing practical ways to challenge and stimulate the spiritual senses of parishioners and priests through engagement with liturgical texts to recognize the living operation of the Holy Spirit in the sacramental life of the Church as an essential means of grace, sanctification, and salvation.
