Pastoral Bearings signifies a culmination of major shifts in the field of pastoral theology in a number of ways. First, religious practice is no longer viewed as the prerogative of the religious community or its officially sanctioned leaders alone, whose interest may be the maintenance of a set of ideological tenets. Religious practice is now viewed as a complex set of lived experience by which the participating persons in it exercise their agency and navigate in the religious geography that is informed by the experience of the past, present, and other contexts (Bevans, 2002). The changing religious topography in the United States coupled with the decline of mainline Protestant communities is likely to have contributed partially to this change. Pastoral Bearings is an excellent example of a collection of pastoral contextual theology in action that addresses the empowerment of individuals and their postmodern context-dependent meaningmaking processes (cf. Patton, 1993; Ramsay, 1998; Lartey, 2006)
