| Summary: | Theological reflection is a much discussed and written about form of theological practice within youth ministry and is taught as a core component in theological training in the UK. This article discusses research into the practice of theological reflection by Christian youth workers in the UK. It compares and contrasts the understanding and use of theological reflection by those with and without formal training. The research reveals similar attitudes toward and practices of theological reflection by both groups, but more regular usage by those with training. Further, the research showed limited forms of theological reflection were being used and as such this article explores the implications of this and makes several recommendations for developing both training and practice of Christian youth workers. |
