Practical theology seeks to integrate theological reflection and practice. It is not merely a sub-discipline for ‘applied’ study, but an integrative endeavour at the heart of theological education. It seeks to learn from biblical, historical and other theological studies, as well as from experience and context. This interest group, focused in practical theology, invites input and collaboration on the nature and practice of leadership needed for contemporary church, society and theological education. It will explore questions around the nature and practice of missional leadership needed for contemporary ministry and mission contexts, including:
congregational transformation
Papers are welcome from practical theologians, and from others bringing their disciplinary perspectives and experience to these questions. Case studies are especially welcome, as are co-presented papers from pairs of scholars and/or practitioners. Co-convenors of this forum are Cath Mckinney and Dr Darren Cronshaw. Please email submissions to [email protected].
Coordinator – Dr Jon Newton ([email protected])

All papers related to worship and liturgy across the Christian traditions are welcome.

ANZATS Award for New and Emerging Scholars
Doctoral students in the final year of their studies, and those who have completed a doctorate within the past 2 years, are invited to submit a full paper for consideration for the inaugural ANZATS Award for New and Emerging Scholars. The award is for the best academic essay in a theological discipline by new and emerging scholars. One award will be considered for each ANZATS annual conference.
The purpose of the award is to support new and emerging scholars to communicate their research among their peers and to encourage such scholars into the field.
The author whose essay is recognized will receive free fees to the Annual Conference, and a certificate. In addition, their paper will be considered for publication in Colloquium, subject to peer review. The Award will be presented at the Annual meeting. All finalists’ papers will be invited to be read at the Conference in a dedicated New and Emerging Scholars stream. ANZATS reserves the right not to make the Award during any given year.
