SOCIODRAMA IN A CHURCH GROUP

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to stimulate greater interest and creative endeavour with a view to more effective utilization of the resources of the churches. Social issues have become more complex and pressing, yet churches and many other community groups find various ways of avoiding them.Warming up certain groups to dealing with the social issues of our time is a difficult task. This can be the case even when the stated reason for the existence of the group is to arouse social concern and mobilize appropriate action. Covert reasons for members' attendance may militate against or even completely frustrate the performance of the primary task. Such is the case with many groups in the church. The material which follows focuses on this problem and suggests a method of handling it.
