Theological Reflection for Human Flourishing
"This book aims to create a bridge between pastoral practice and public theology aimed at those training for ministry, those in ministry and lay people wishing to reflect upon their work. It seeks to enable those in pastoral ministry to reflect upon their institutional encounters and to enable lay people who work in institutions as professionals or managers to reflect upon their pastoral encounters. By generating shared encounters of theological reflection between these two groups the authors identify points of solidarity and tension between them. The book seeks to address the commonly voiced concern that clergy and laity talk past each other and dont engage on the issues that they find perplexing. Readers of the book will gain an increased confidence in reflecting upon their own practice and engaging with others in theological reflection." -- Publisher's description.
