This unit will critically evaluate two distinct approaches to theological reflection, namely the Pastoral Cycle and the Four Voices Model. Students will then apply these to their own practice. The unit is designed to stimulate greater student reflexivity in relation to context, tradition, Scripture, justice and power. Students will also develop skills in two specific processes which will be used throughout the unit and which will create an ongoing set of tools for theological reflection.
