| Summary: | Reasons for the recent interest in public theology are discussed [following the special issue of Theology in September 2014], followed by the claim that in Britain today public theology must take the form of action for justice and peace. A number of examples are offered including a short description of training for justice and peace leadership in the Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education. The essay concludes by suggesting a number of steps which local churches could take in order to realize the prophetic tradition. |
