520 |a Using narrative accounts, this paper will explore the process of living with progressive and life-changing conditions and how, out of that, a theology of joy can be developed. The method used is a modified version of the critical conversation method of theological reflection as outlined by Pattinson. In this approach, a conversation will take place between experience, using a narrative autoethnographic approach, between the voice of contemporary society and Christian theology and practice. From this dialogue, an approach to a theology of joy will be outlined. Life sometimes seems focused on health needs. Yet I live with joy. This is a joy that accepts God walking alongside me while still arguing with him about life. This is not the blind joy of black and white faith. Augustine said that ‘I call [love to God] the motion of the soul toward the enjoyment of God for his own sake and the enjoyment of one’s self and one’s neighbor for the sake of God.” For him, joy in one's own life stems from a joyful relationship with God. This approach, as well as input from Moltmann and the more recent work of Miroslav Volf, will be explored in this paper. Only a theology of joy enables me to face the present and the future; this paper explores how this theology is developing, through experience, reflection, and engagement with Christian doctrine and teaching.
