A Pilgrim’s Performance: Practical Theology as Convening International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-10 Dustin D. Benac
Convening is a mode of practical theology inquiry that stages a counter-performance to the spectacle of prominent logics that order ecclesial life: brand Christianity, silos, and competition. Three parts organize this argument: Part I sets the stage with a preliminary portrait of convening, noting the contextual features of this inquiry. Part II introduces Augustine’s City of God as an interpretive

Discourse surrounding Christian leadership is often influenced by colonialistic assumptions and theology that centralizes the role of the leader as change agent.

Segmented Secrecy as Catholic Ecclesial Practice: The Case of Gay Priests International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2022-06-10 Brett Hoover
While social scientists have long studied secrecy as a cultural practice, theologians have neglected it as an ecclesial practice.

Poetic Listening in Pastoral Care: Listening to the Poems that People Are International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2022-06-10 Martin Walton, Kees Bregman, Els Deenen
Can listening as one listens to or reads poetry complement narrative approaches in pastoral care? The fragmented, open ended, metaphorical and episodic character of what people tell in pastoral encounters is often more like poetry than story. Applying instruments of poetic analysis to what people tell, opens new insights into those texts, whether originally written or oral. That experimental, heuristic

Truth in Pastoral Practice: A Firmer Foundation for Contested Territory International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Simon Lasair
Truth in the West is highly contested. The advent of post-truth politics, in addition to the ongoing culture wars, mitigates against truth being understood solely on the basis of objective facts, as it was in the past. For pastoral carers and counsellors, this raises significant questions: how to build shared understandings of truth between individuals and in communities? This article proposes a solution

Ordinary theology is often described as unrefined and imprecise in comparison to academic theology. A recent ethnographic study of vital youth ministries discovered a similar pattern, which the study coined “theological wiggle room.” This article discusses how a lack of precision may serve as a possible resource for theology in the ordinary, and thereby why theological wiggle room may be of significance

The Invention of Clutter and the New Spiritual Discipline of Decluttering International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Christy Lang Hearlson
This essay argues that the popular global decluttering movement epitomized in Marie Kondo is a new spiritual discipline tailored to a particular cultural moment in which members of affluent societies, especially women, are caught between the shame of displaying too much “stuff” at home and the guilt of discarding it. After suggesting reasons for the movement’s neglect by theologians, the essay offers

Liberating Hope in the Context of Pediatric Care at the End of Life International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2021-06-01 Elaine Champagne
The spiritual care of dying children and their families requires both sensitivity and competence. Parents – and adults, in general – not only recognize an intrinsic value in children, but also see them as important symbols of hope and as promise for the future. Hence, hope may be challenged when a child is facing death. From the field of spiritual and practical theology, this research attempts to correlate

Recovering Mystery: Ecological Encounters and Practical Theological Ways of Knowing International Journal of Practical Theology (IF 0.1) Pub Date : 2021-06-01 Jennifer R. Ayres
Western ways of thinking about our ecological context have too often failed to nurture meaningful relationship with it. This failure is rooted in our assumptions about what it means to know. Approaches to environmental education (including environmental education in religious communities and beyond) that rely on rationalist and objectivist epistemologies fail to adequately address the emotional and
