I spoke with the preacher of the church I attend here in Georgetown, and he was more than happy to help, and gave me some incredible insights. I had been starting to think that my initial idea, how modern religious movements are affecting the church of Christ, was less valid than I thought. However, he knew exactly what I was talking about and was able to clarify a lot of issues and give me background info that I hadn't had access to yet. He also lent me three theology textbooks of his to do a little more research, and they've been fascinating reads from what little I've been able to read so far. AND he invited me to dinner with he and his wife (I've known both of them a long time, so it's not as awkward as it may seem...) to talk with her because she could give me a different perspective than he can.
All in all, things are going well. :) Now comes the daunting task of transcribing an hour and a half long interview....
This is really great, Krista! I encourage you to transcribe and read over the interview before you do the next one. It will provide some good feedback on the types of questions you asked, and probably help you formulate clearer and narrower ones.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your interview went well! Congrats! I think it's very interesting that your interview has made you rethink your initial idea. Maybe in your next interview you can adjust your questions so that it applies to your new found information.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your transcribing!
