Virus as a summons to faith
Virus as a summons to faith: biblical reflections in a time of loss, grief, and anxiety." Practical Theology, 14(1-2), pp. 159–160
Soil, roots and shoots
Celebrating twenty-five years since its foundation, this article traces the origins of the British and Irish Association for Practical Theology (BIAPT) from the emergence of Pastoral Studies in the sixties, through the annual Conference on Pastoral Studies, to the British and Irish Association for Practical Theology in 1994. Attention is also drawn to the importance of the journal Contact, the fore-runner of Practical Theology, in 2008, and the e…
Theologians on Scripture
On Being the Church at the Centre of the City Today
The city centre as a location for mission has been largely neglected. It demands, alongside the inner-city and rural ministry, to be recognised as having its own special needs, problems and opportunities. A brief historical survey traces the way the city centre has moved from being the heartbeat of the city to decline until, in recent years, in the postmodern city, seen a remarkable revitalisation. This poses a challenge to the churches for missi…

Give It Up For Baby
Uptake of Give It Up For Baby by the target population was higher than for all other health board areas offering specialist or equivalent cessation services in Scotland. Quit successes also compared favorably with other specialist interventions, adding to evidence of the benefits of incentives in this setting. The process evaluation helped to explain variations in retention and quit rates achieved by the scheme.This study describes a series of po…

The Bible in Theological Reflection
Theological reflection is increasingly found at the heart of practical theology. However, little attention has been given to the place and function of the Bible in this process. It is important, not least in the light of the resources found in biblical studies, to be engaged with the Bible in depth. The key lies in the incarnational nature of Christian faith. The Bible is the primary witness to the saving events, focused in Christ, as they are fo…

Faith and autonomy a Taste of Wales
This paper reports on one particular aspect of a survey conducted in Wales- namely the relation between Christian belief and two of the most characteristic marks of post-Enlightenment modem society. These are (i) personal autonomy or freedom and (ii) egalitarianism or social autonomy in a pluralistic society. The question, therefore, is whether there is any causal-relation, positive or negative, between modernity and current perceptions of God an…
