Welcome to Practical Theology Hub!

Welcome to Practical Theology Hub! We are a new website that publishes essays on practical theology from across different traditions, faiths and religions whilst trying to bridge the gaps between the academic, clerical, and lay circles.

Our about page provides a brief introduction to the site. It will tell you that:

Practical Theology Hub is a space for anyone with an interest in practical theology to share their reflections and explore new ideas. The discipline of practical theology explores the dialogue that takes place between experience and belief and unites the social and physical sciences and the arts with theology in a conversation about experience and meaning making. 

An initiative of BIAPT (British and Irish Association for Practical Theology) PTH aims to make this conversation as inclusive and as broad as possible. All who have an interest in theology, wherever they are based in the world, whether they are academics, practitioners or students are welcome participants in this conversation, as are people from all or any tradition, faith and religion. Through hospitality and conversation PTH is forming a community without boundaries, a community drawn together by a commitment to theological reflection.

PTH is not an academic website but rather seeks to take the latest thinking within the field of practical theology and disseminate it as widely as possible. Recognising the possibility of mutual instruction PTH publishes articles by practitioners as well as academics and from students as well as from retirees. These articles will also reflect the vast breadth of subjects that is characteristic of practical theology resulting in a diversity of published material that represents the varied backgrounds and interests of the community.

Owen Griffiths, Vice-Editor, 2022.

PTH officially launched on July 11, 2022, at BIAPT’s Annual Conference. Moving forward we plan to publish essays on a bi-weekly basis as well as other materials.

We are always open to submissions, and enquiries can be sent to the editorial board at editor[at]biapt.org.

We hope you enjoy the site, the essays that we publish, and interacting with our content! You can follow us on Twitter or Facebook for updates!
