A lecture delivered at the House Conference, Port Hacking, New South Wales, Australia
In 2009, I developed a definition of “family ministry.” A few years later, I recognized that my definition was inadequate and incomplete. This paper serves, in some sense, as a retractatio of that original definition—not in the sense of a “retraction” or “rejection” but in the sense that Augustine of Hippo used the term in Retractationes, a “re-treatment” in light of later reflection.

Edwin Gheens Professor of Christian Family Ministry at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
