SWF’s Emma Pavey has an article published April 2021 in the Journal of Practical Theology entitled ‘Exploring open and relational theology and theory U for transformational change’. You can access it online here (may require institutional access). Otherwise contact us for information.
Abstract:
Practical theologies that help us manage change and uncertainty give us the foundation to flourish in a shifting, uncertain world. Here I place open and relational theologies alongside the awareness-based change framework of Theory U. I explore how they embrace change as a constant part of our lived experience, with particular focus on the underpinning concepts of time, human agency, relational freedom and embodied, shared power. I examine what the intersection of these livable, practical theories offers in thinking about transformational change and leadership in community that is formed through responsible, relational agency and hopeful creativity.
