God’s nature revealed through practices of care
BEYOND BELIEF
The genius of practical theology lies in its integrative activity of keeping theory and practice in critical dialogue.
Practical theologians affirm that we learn about God through practice and action
that significant and substantial knowledge about the nature and activity of God may in fact be gained through practice and action.
Theology is always tentative,
God’s presence subtle.
Knowledge of God is always provisional
Theology entails exploring and listening to the ‘different’
The Divine is better articulated in verse than in prose
Theology needs to be poetic.
