Practical Theology

Practical Theology is the application of theological studies and church doctrine seen through the lens of Scripture, Tradition and Reason. Practical Theology speaks to all aspects of life and in particular the everyday reality of Christian Discipleship, Worship and Ministry. Therefore, Practical Theology is a broad discipline that includes, but is not limited to, Evangelism, Discipleship, Homiletics, Sacramental Life, Leadership Development, Pastoral Care, Office and Work of the Episcopate, Presbyterate and Diaconate and Church Administration.

In simple terms Practical Theology is the application of our Faith in every aspect of our personal and corporate life. It is the reflection of Jesus Christ and his love to a broken world.
