Ethnography is a way to tap the deep undercurrents in a community through a process of gathering, analyzing, and sharing data. Fully revised and updated for this second edition, Ethnography as a Pastoral Practice has quickly become the go-to textbook for those in or training for ministry who want to discover how they can use ethnography to help them hear the stories of those to whom they minister. Setting forth the case for ethnography’s ability to galvanize aspirations and heal communal hurt, this book presents the helpful pastoral practice of ethnography in a clear, step-by-step manner and includes many compelling case studies of transformational leadership. Ethnography as a Pastoral Practice invites us to open our eyes, ears and hearts to those in our congregations.
Mary Clark Moschella is Roger J. Squire Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Yale University School of Divinity, is the author or editor of three books and numerous articles in the area of pastoral research, including the widely used volume, Ethnography as a Pastoral Practice: An Introduction. She is also the author of Caring for Joy: Narrative, Theology, and Practice.
"This is a superb update to what has become an important research text in the field of pastoral care! Mary Moschella’s book goes beyond just the mechanics of qualitative research (although the skills are well described) to bring heart and relationality to what, at the end of the day, is a practice of ethical mutual inquiry that deepens honesty in community, both in the classroom and in congregations. Incorporating new methods, and thoughtful new examples, this volume shows how ethnography really is a sacred – even potentially transformative – practice of pastoral listening and care."
