Where Did The

             The research of Dr. Robert Putnam, Harvard
             University, helps us quantify forty years of social
             capital in North America in his two best sellers,
             Bowling Alone (2001) and Better Together (2004).

             Groups include all voluntary associations such as the
             PTA, AMA, synagogues, mosques, recreation clubs,
             political parties, bowling leagues, etc., and the church
             with all its tribes and varieties.

The Data
             Drawing on vast data from the Roper Social and Political Trends and
             the DDB Needham Life Style, we learn about Americans' changing
             behavior over the past thirty years.

                    We have become increasingly disconnected from
                    family, friends, neighbors, and social structures,
                    whether the PTA, church, recreation clubs, political
                    parties, or bowling leagues.

                    Our shrinking access to the "social capital" reward of
                    communal activity and community sharing is a serious
                    threat to our civic and personal health.

Missional Reciprocity Opportunity




For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .
Missional Reciprocity Opportunity

         Decades ago, it was clear that any
         church in the community added value
         to the community that could be
         measured as social capital. Tax
         exemption can only be understood in
         light of the principle of reciprocity.

For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .
Missional Reciprocity Opportunity
               It is a fair question to ask our
               congregations, “In what ways does
               the community receive a reciprocal
               value in services equal to the “gift”
               of property tax relief from the
               municipalities?”
               This is the opportunity!
For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .
Missional Reciprocity Opportunity
               Most congregations return
               something to the community. The
               missional challenge is to invite every
               congregation to be accountable in
               their ministry and mission to give, in
               a reciprocal way, to their own
               community.

  • 37. Missional Reciprocity Opportunity Decades ago, it was clear that any church in the community added value to the community that could be measured as social capital. Tax exemption can only be understood in light of the principle of reciprocity. For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .
  • 38. Missional Reciprocity Opportunity It is a fair question to ask our congregations, “In what ways does the community receive a reciprocal value in services equal to the “gift” of property tax relief from the municipalities?” This is the opportunity! For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .
  • 39. Missional Reciprocity Opportunity Most congregations return something to the community. The missional challenge is to invite every congregation to be accountable in their ministry and mission to give, in a reciprocal way, to their own community. For more information about the Reciprocal Church, please contact the author, Dr. Kevin Yoho kevin@newarkpresbytery.org .

  21. Slide Point:\nThe point is that Presbyterian Church membership decline is NOT a Presbyterian problem, but a sociological one.\nIt is critical in the transformation process to put “our” decline in its social context so that congregational responses to this decline can be relevant, effective, and contextually relevant. The negativity and defensiveness that often describes the PC(USA) membership and leadership can be mitigated and even turned around to positive and creative responses when we realize that only through contextual and collaborative transformation efforts can these trends be reversed.\n\nBased on statistical research published of Dr. Robert D.

Drawing on vast data from the Roper Social and Political Trends and the DDB Needham Life Style -- surveys that report in detail on Americans' changing behavior over the past twenty-five years -- Putnam shows how we have become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and social structures, whether the PTA, church, recreation clubs, political parties, or bowling leagues. Our shrinking access to the "social capital" that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing is a serious threat to our civic and personal health. Congregations are part of this trend of decline shared with all other groups. \n\n\nSource Data:\nPresbyterian Church data is in millions of members, composited to include various streams of PC(USA). data sets found at: datahttp://www.thearda.com/Denoms/Families/Trees/familytree_presbyterian.asp\nAll Other Group Data: data is 10x million of members, Robert Putnam, data sets found at: http://www.bowlingalone.com/data.php3\n\nFor more information and the missional implications for the PC(USA), please contact the author:\nDr. Kevin Yoho, General Presbyter\nNewark Presbytery\n973.429.2500 office\n201.207.1544 mobile\nkevin@newarkpresbytery.org\n\n
  24. Slide Point:\nThe point is that Presbyterian Church membership decline is NOT a Presbyterian problem, but a sociological one.\nIt is critical in the transformation process to put “our” decline in its social context so that congregational responses to this decline can be relevant, effective, and contextually relevant. The negativity and defensiveness that often describes the PC(USA) membership and leadership can be mitigated and even turned around to positive and creative responses when we realize that only through contextual and collaborative transformation efforts can these trends be reversed.\n\nBased on statistical research published of Dr. Robert D. Putnam (Harvard University) in his Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community (2001) and Better Together: Restoring the American Community (2004).
