Summary: | This paper by a pastoral planner who is also a professional city and regional planner focuses on the problem of activating research in and about religion. Difficulties in energizing research, particularly in the author's Roman Catholic experience, are spotlighted. Pastoral planning is presented as a combination of study and practice. The relationships of research to collegiality, experimentation, the re-entry problem, and spirituality are considered. Attention is drawn to newly emerging offices for diocesan pastoral planning. The central conclusion is that there are probably faults, or at least surviving ambiguities and insensitivities, on both sides of the research-practice chasm. Too little attention is devoted by some researchers to the all important transfer factor. |
