Tomorrow’s theologians

America Magazine has a great piece up about principles for theological reflection with our current context:

(1) Let theological knowledge emerge from the study of what is nontheological (2) Let the nontheological understanding of religions and cultures inform theology (3) Let theological insights be gleaned through interreligious dialogue (4) Let lived experience of the impoverished and marginalized be a touchstone for theological learning (5) Let the God-mystery stand as the horizon for all learning in the university

I think I'm still wrapping my mind around the last one, but this is a great list, and I think Paul Crowley's article ought to be required reading at Catholic seminaries.
