Reconstructing Practical Theology
Traditional ways of ‘belonging’ and relating to places and structures are being eroded leaving the established patterns of ministry, worship, church organisation the province of an ageing population, while those who are now more inclined to search for ‘communities of interest’ avoid being drawn into the practices and structures of formal religion. What is the future for practical theology in this rapidly changing context? By examining the familiar concerns of the subject, John Reader shows how it is in danger of operating with ‘zombie categories’ – still alive but only just – and presents the possibilities for a reflexive spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition as a way into the future.
