The Terrace Hotel, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Waves of Hope: Storied Theology
The focus of the 2025 APTO Symposium will provide an opportunity to look at the intersection between culture and practical theology. How do we open our practice of practical theology respective of our engagement with culture with the overriding notion of being carriers of stories of hope? How do we open ourselves to dialogue in a respectful and open-minded, open-hearted and open-spirited manner? This 2025 Symposium explores the range of theological, cultural, ethical, historical and spiritual issues associated with engaging with hope through a storied theology in the region of Oceania. All the disciplines of practical theology will be brought to bear on both an analysis of the issues, and pointing the way to effective reflections on the practice of storytelling – emulating, celebrating and sharing hope. This symposium is a precursor to our 2026 Conference planned for the Pacific Islands next year, of the same theme though with a more nuanced agenda around experience, narrative, and storytelling across Oceania: Waves of Hope: Storytelling from Oceania.
