Description / Abstract
How might an understanding of shame inform our communal and formative spiritual practices in the church? The conceptional framework is a work in practical theology that begins with an autoethnographic reflection and considers various typologies of shame from the disciplines of theology, psychology, and sociology. Shame is the disorienting
state of not knowing one is loved by God and worthy of belonging. It binds one to the untruths of being unloved, flawed, and undeserving of relationships.
An authentic community experience is proposed that will introduce spiritual practices to foster deeper intimacy with God and transform the narratives of shame. The small group experience is designed to move participants toward restoration of the imago Dei. The loving mutuality and belonging between the persons of the Godhead invites humanity into this community of wholeness and healing.
