Shared a little (last night at my youth fellowship) about how the Church can benefit from Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
I think it's important to structure and plan our ministries in line with how people best do their learning, how they are most effectively engaged, what 'makes them tick', etc.
We obviously shouldn't bring 'body-smart' people to attend 3-hour lectures on philosophical arguments for the faith, neither ought we reach out to tone-deaf individuals via the 'beauty of Christian hymns'.
To read more on M.I. you may begin with Harvard Project Zero's article. You could also read Dr. Thomas Armstrong's write-up.
Here's a (progressively modifiable!) listing of the various intelligences plus some ministry avenues which may help (i.e. topics or activities to draw people strong in that specific intel closer to God).
1. Body Smart (Kinesthetic Intel) - Christian dance, mime, drama, complexity of the human body (e.g. P.Yancey's & P.Brand's "Fearfully & Wonderfully Made"?), sports day.
2. Picture Smart (Visual-Spatial Intel) - Christian art (and/or painters), architecture, images during sermons, imagery of New Heaven & Earth, Tolkien and Christianity.
3. Word Smart (Linguistic Intel) - Theology, narratives, stories, philosophy, famous sermons, Christian authors (e.g. C.S. Lewis).
4. Number Smart (Mathematical-Logical Intel) - Philosophical arguments, logical patterns of revelation, stages of narrative history(?), Christian inventors.
5. People Smart (InterPersonal Intel) - Fellowshipping, group discussions, workshops, Christian leaders.
6. Self Smart (IntraPersonal Intel) - meditation, spirituality, meta-philosophy, relational theology.
7. Nature Smart (Natural-Ecological Intel) - theology of creation(?), Biblical cosmology, outdoor activities, God and animals.
8. Music Smart (Musical-Rhythmic Intel) - contemporary Christian music, hymns, Christian composers.
