The influence of a theology of the laity on lay mobilization for the Trinity Annual Conference of the Methodist Church in Singapore.

From the early years of the Church, laity has ceased to be in full partnership in God's mission because of the lack of a comprehensive theology of the laity. This is an exploratory study to find a correlation between a theology of the laity and lay mobilization. A researcher-designed survey which measures this fuller definition of the theology of the laity will be used on two types of congregations, Methodist and non-Methodists, to discover if a more biblically adequate and functional theology of the laity will result in more lay mobilization. According to the study, a relationship exists between lay mobilization and some aspects of the laity construct theology.
