520 |a A modified version of the Lens model of human judgment was used to study the decision making process in ministerial discernment. Participants were a stratified sample of a Catholic women's religious order in a Southern province. The discerning women, average age 58 years, served in either education, health, community, or diversified ministries. Two questionnaires were used to measure the beliefs and attitudes of the discerning sisters along with their reactions to the outcome of discernment. The relationship between the outcomes of discernment and the respondents' beliefs and attitudes were studied. Overall the results indicated that the sisters were satisfied with the process and outcome of discernment. In addition, the more importance assigned to prayer in discernment, the greater was the respondent's satisfaction. Other findings demonstrated that those sisters who decided to change ministries (the younger ones) held attitudes that were less resistant to change, supported the belief that possessing a social life was important, and were relatively dissatisfied with their own ministries.
