Why Global Conversations Matter | Pastoral and Practical Theology

In this video, a small group of UK-based theological educators reflect on the importance of engaging with the perspectives of scholars of global majority heritage. They address questions such as: Why is this important? Why should students in the UK pay attention to, learn from and participate in global conversations? What practical advice would they give to students starting their studies?
