Post-Pope Visit: Practical Theology Recaps?
I wish I could hear the conversations this week in practical theology classes, and in the many academic-pastoral-social venues that practical theologians work, regarding Pope Francis’ USA visit. What does practical theology have to say about the trip? What does Roman Catholicism as refracted through his visit have to say to practical theology? Thinking about […]

The Center for Migration Studies in NYC […]
