Two fine posts on the necessity of good theology for right practice.
Theology in the Service of Piety
“There is no … dichotomy between theology and practice. True theology must alway lead to piety. And there is no path to true piety but by theology” — Mike Riccardi.
Theology and the non-intellectual (me)
“How I live reflects what I think about God and what I think about God affects how I live. Theology and reality necessarily intertwine. Thus we are all theologians in one respect or another. The question remains: what kind of theologians are we?” — Lisa Spence.
