Revitalizing Practice is designed to help theological faculties engage a common set of
challenges particularly in the areas of diversity formation and institutional identity.
These are not technical problems but are instead the very stuff out of which teaching and
learning are practiced. Yet addressing such issues requires intentional strategies and
collaborative work. Revitalizing Practice offers four such intentional strategies: «A New
Ecology Model» «An Improvisational Model» «An Appreciative Inquiry Model» and «A World Café
Model». Each of these models provides a thorough and practical framework (based on sound
theoretical concepts) designed to help faculties revitalize their practices of theological
teaching and learning.
