Teaching Theological Thinking in Practical Theology

SummaryThis article reports an experiment in the teaching of practical theology. By recounting and reflecting on this experiment, the author argues that the inter-disciplinary dialogue at the heart of practical theology requires the modelling of a critical conversation in which the sub-disciplines of theology are fully operative. This is most likely to be a team approach. He also suggests some further implications of the experiment for teaching, learning and assessment in practical theology.
