    Attitude of Congregants Regarding Consecutive Interpretation of Church Sermons in the Pentecostal Churches in Nakuru Town
    (International Journal of Research and Scientific Innovation, 2021-01) Onkware, Gillphine Chebunga and Menecha, Jared Bravin
    Previous studies have shown that congregants may create either a positive attitude or a negative attitude towards consecutive interpretation. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude of congregants regarding consecutive interpretation of church sermons in Pentecostal churches in Nakuru town. Using the interpretive theory of translation, the study employed a descriptive survey research design. With a sample size of ten Pentecostal churches randomly selected from a list of 50 Pentecostal churches, questionnaires, interview schedules and observation schedule were used to collect data. The findings of this study show that most congregants have a positive attitude towards consecutive interpretation, they enjoy when it is being used in church, it leads to spiritual growth, and they understand messages better and find it a modernized way of preaching. On the contrary, they find consecutive interpretation time wasting and somehow find it boring. The study recommends that the church administration should psycho-educate the congregants on the importance of consecutive interpretation and the underlying reasons for its adoption in church.
