520 The church exists in the world, and our ministry is
inextricably social in nature. Practical theology takes
this seriously and asks us to reflect on our practice of
ministry in both church and society. This book attends to
our practice as individuals in ministry, to our corporate
practice as congregations in ministry, and to our practice
as Christians within the wider social and natural world.
Practical Theology in Church and Society brings into
sharper focus two perspectives on practical theology. One
is the view through the wide-angle lens of justice-
oriented action, which hopes for liberation. This view
encompasses a broad vista of social forces for justice and
injustice when evaluating local movements and local
ministries. The other perspective takes the narrower focus
of the action-reflection model as it is used to zoom in on
individual actions and particular practices of ministry
such as pastoral care. The purpose of the book is to
integrate these two perspectives on practical theology. It
explicates a cyclical method for doing theology that has
corollaries within the disciplines of practical theology,
liberation theology, missiology, congregation studies, and
ministerial leadership. The volume provides resources for
developing more socially and ecologically engaged
ministries, and it draws implications for ministerial
education.
