This study came about as a result of a decline in churches of
Christ and the necessity for elders to seek members who have
wandered. The objective of this study was to examine the attitudes
of elders in churches of Christ concerning inactive Christians. An
examination is made of the responsibilities of elders toward
inactive Christians, reasons Christians become inactive, and
practical steps elders can take to restore inactive Christians.
Nine elders participated in interviews that covered their previous
experiences with elders and inactive Christians, their present
experiences with inactive Christians, and the meaning they make of
those experiences. This seminal work on church leadership and
inactive Christians provides reasons for inactivity, what church
leaders can do to reclaim inactive church members, and looks at how
church leaders currently help reclaim their wandering sheep.
