Editorial Introduction The idea that theory and practice are in some sort of permanent clash or in separate spheres needs reexamination. The problem of divergence between Christian theologies and practices represents one aspect of this. Theologians and Practitioner function as the prime spokespersons of these spheres within Christianity. The evidence of conflict or divergence between the spokespersons (and the spheres) potentially discredits Christian holism; it undermines the centrality of knowledge and love in Christian faith. Christian life is not just about doing, it is about right knowing and right doing and - neither is possible without a continuous pursuit of truth in context.

Editorial Introduction Theology is by its very nature contextual as those who do it are bound, among other things, by their location, language, intellect and the utter physicality of their state. For an idea or experience of God to be meaningful, whether generated by the ‘imaginal’ faculty or by revelation or by the combination of the two, it needs the contexts immediate to us. Prevailing Cultures and philosophies, gender, age, denomination, folk religion are some such contexts.As contexts are changeable, the fundamental concern of many theologians has been about how to remain faithful to the core and substantive elements of faith whist recasting theology in relevant terms.
