| 520 | |a This article demonstrates how theological education can be transformed through the systematic integration of structured theological reflection methods derived from spiritual direction practices. Drawing on Gerhardt’s concept of theonomy and Lynch’s theological reflection framework, it examines how the current crisis in theological education requires not merely programmatic changes but a fundamental reconceptualisation of theological knowledge transmission. Through analysing the Life Seeks Understanding platform’s work with Hong Kong Christians in diaspora, this study demonstrates how structured theological reflection methods create learning spaces that effectively bridge academic theology and contemporary spiritual formation. The platform’s implementation of Gerhardt’s theonomous approach, combined with Lynch’s structured reflection methods, provides evidence for how theological education can maintain intellectual rigour whilst addressing post-secular spiritual needs. Through innovative online courses and culturally sensitive pedagogical approaches, the platform exemplifies how theological education can be made accessible and relevant whilst preserving traditional wisdom. This article contributes to practical theology by demonstrating how experimental approaches to theological reflection can revitalise theological education, particularly for diaspora communities navigating complex cultural and spiritual identities. | ||
