Ambiguity and opportunity: appraising practical theology

Abstract This article describes an empirical research project into the nature of masters provision in practical theology carried out at Cardiff University in 2001–02. It outlines the main findings of the project and also goes on to raise questions for this disciplinary field based on discussion of those findings, concluding with an invitation for readers and practical theological educators to engage in further dialogue on the issues raised.
