Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.

ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University School of Education Title: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE AIMS AND METHODS OF FAMILY WORSHIP IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Name of the researcher: Louis Edgel Phillips Name and degree of faculty chair: John B. Youngberg, Ed.D. Date completed: August 1992 Problem The Adventist Church places a high value on family worship yet less than 50 percent of those surveyed indicated that the observance was practiced. It was posited that an investigation of the aims and methods of family worship might provide a partial answer to this phenomenon. This present study was to determine the underlying dimensions of the aims and methods of family worship and to discover which methods have a significant correlation with the aims of family worship.
