AB Intersectionality is a metatheory that is singularly focused on naming and resisting the exercise of hegemonic power. This article demonstrates the timely value of intersectionality for advancing public trajectories in pastoral and practical theology nationally and internationally. It also articulates the genealogy and core principles of intersectionality. It notes the relevance of such origins and core themes for practices of ministry. It illustrates ways pastoral and practical theologians working in areas of practices of care can draw on this theory effectively to confront asymmetries of power that distort lives and relationships at micro, meso, and macro levels. Finally, it also proposes ways through which pastoral and practical theologians have much to contribute to the ongoing construction of this metatheory.
