Christ, who calls and relates to his disciples as friends, founded the church to be a sacrament of his presence in the world. The church, therefore, exists to unveil God's friendship with humanity and guide human response to this act of divine love in a way that establishes God's kingdom on earth as one community of God's friends. One challenge that confronts the church today is the new evangelization, the search for new ardor, method, and expression of the gospel. This dissertation contributes to this discussion by proposing an ecclesiology of friendship as a touchstone for ecclesial communication. It uses hermeneutic phenonomenology as a methodological lens and adapts Don Browning's vision for doing theological reflection, which integrates perspectives from sub-disciplines in theology into four hermeneutical sub-movements of descriptive, historical, systematic, and strategic practical theological reflection.

520 $a Christ, who calls and relates to his disciples as friends, founded the church to be a sacrament of his presence in the world. The church, therefore, exists to unveil God's friendship with humanity and guide human response to this act of divine love in a way that establishes God's kingdom on earth as one community of God's friends. One challenge that confronts the church today is the new evangelization, the search for new ardor, method, and expression of the gospel. This dissertation contributes to this discussion by proposing an ecclesiology of friendship as a touchstone for ecclesial communication. It uses hermeneutic phenonomenology as a methodological lens and adapts Don Browning's vision for doing theological reflection, which integrates perspectives from sub-disciplines in theology into four hermeneutical sub-movements of descriptive, historical, systematic, and strategic practical theological reflection.
520 $a Based on the findings, the study calls for the need for church institutions and individual Christians to transcend a bullhorn approach to the new media. The dissertation proposes an ecclesiology of friendship as way of doing this; and suggests a framework for identifying the marks of Christian friendship and the corporate identity of the church as a friend. It also sheds light on how the ecclesiology of friendship might provide a theological imagination for understanding and communicating the relational aspects of existing models of the church, such as institution, mystical body, servant, herald, sacrament, and community of disciples. Finally, the study discusses the implication of the ecclesiology of friendship for the church's communicative practices with a specific focus on ecumenism, interreligious dialogue, interpersonal communication of those in church leadership, the celebration of the Eucharist, and digital evangelization.
