Book: What Makes a Good Church? Public Theology and the Urban Church
Elaine Graham and Stephen Lowe, "What Makes a Good Church? Public Theology and the Urban Church" (Darton, Longman and Todd, June 2009):
www.dltbooks.com/book_details.asp?bID=940&bc=0&sID=ALL&Type=B&cp=1
Publisher's description: "In its Faithful Cities report (2006), the [Anglican Archbishops'] Commission on Urban Life and Faith [of which both Graham and Lowe were members] identified the question 'What makes a good city?' as a key catalyst for thinking about the future of our cities and towns. In this groundbreaking work of practical theology, the authors [...] explore this question in depth, from historical, social, economic and spiritual perspectives and offer a vision for the long-term future of the 'good city'".
Elaine Graham is Grosvenor Research Professor at the University of Chester. Until October 2009, she was the Samuel Ferguson Professor of Social and Pastoral Theology at the University of Manchester. From 2005 to 2007, she served as President of the International Academy of Practical Theology.
Stephen Lowe retired from his position as suffragan Bishop of Hulme, in the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, in July 2009. From 2006, he was the Church of England's first Bishop for Urban Life and Faith. He also chaired its Urban Bishops Panel.

CFP: Catholic Practical Theology and political theology
2010 Convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA), Cleveland Renaissance Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio, USA,
10-13 June 2010
www.ctsa-online.org/convention_2010_general_info.html
The Topic Session "Practical Theology" of the CTSA has issued a call for papers for next year's convention, particularly inviting contributions on political theology:
Catholic Practical Theology is not limited to seminary preparation. It can also be seen as a kind of political theology embedded in church membership and life that engages ethical issues defined by feminist, sexuality, trauma, and postcolonial theories.
The Practical Theology Administrative Team (Tom Beaudoin, Lynn Bridgers, Susan Abraham) encourages proposals for individual papers, or for complete panels (no more than three persons), that address the prophetic dimension of practical theology today, or the ways in which current trends in practical theology rework the prophetic. We particularly invite proposals that engage practical theology's recent political, ethnographic, communicative, and local-ecclesiological developments. Additionally, we welcome proposals on any aspect of practical theology that relates to Catholic contexts.
Please submit proposals of 100 words to Tom Beaudoin (Fordham University): tbeaudoin@fordham.edu
Include name(s) of presenters, institutional affiliation, and e-mail contact information. CTSA policy restricts each member to one speaking/presenting role per convention. Proposals were due by 1 September 2009 and notifications will be made by 30 September. (Please check with the organizers whether proposals will still be accepted and whether non-members can submit.) Any audio-visual needs must be clearly stated in proposals.
