A Digital Womanist Practical Theological Approach

A womanist practical theological approach sets the departure point at the lived experiences of Black women and other marginalized groups and speaks to the love of all persons and the commitment to the survival and wholeness of all people. A womanist practical theological methodology explores a praxis-reflection-analysis-theory-praxis circular model approach. Through this model, research begins with the lived experiences of Black women and other marginalized groups' praxis or practice with the researcher, then uses theological reflection, which incorporates hermeneutics, scripture, and practices of the world, to reflect and analyze the practice. The analysis is then discussed with theory to describe, articulate, and call to the forefront the observed liberatory practices that can inform faith leaders and academics in their practices and engagement with the world.
