Group Description

Practical theology isn’t just about discussing abstract theological concepts – it’s about putting those same theories into action in the real world. When it comes to the Orthodox Church, this means drawing upon centuries of tradition and the wisdom of predecessors to deal with modern issues. This includes everything from ethical dilemmas to social justice concerns, all with a mind toward promoting spiritual growth and understanding. The Orthodox Church acknowledges that proper understanding comes from living out one’s beliefs, which is why practical theology is an essential and meaningful discipline.

The Eastern Orthodox Church boasts a rich history of practical theology led by influential theologians and saints, including St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, and St. Gregory Palamas. These luminaries were known not only for their theological expertise but also their powerful preaching, compassionate pastoral care, and unwavering social advocacy – their writings still resonate with Orthodox Christians today. Practical theology today takes many forms, with youth and campus ministry, counseling, social outreach, and theological education all playing essential roles in contemporary Orthodox practice. But perhaps the most profound expression of practical theology remains the Church’s liturgical and sacramental life, providing faithful believers countless opportunities to connect with God and deepen their faith.

As viewed by the Eastern Orthodox, practical theology entails a beautiful synthesis of theology and practice, honoring tradition and experience. It calls for lively participation in the life of the Church and the world, making for a rich and engaging faith journey.
