In reflective practice we are asked to consider our own experiences and ask ‘what went well?’, ‘what went badly’ and ‘how might I do better next time?’ Tools for Reflective Ministry contains practical exercises and ideas on how to do this theologically and spiritually, putting Christianity at the core of the discipline.

Topics covered include: using metaphor in reflection; spiritual practices for reflection; reframing the past, imagining the future, understanding the present; using culture in reflection; reflecting without words; reflecting with nature; reflecting together.
