ABSTRACT
Practical Theology turned ten years old in 2017. Such an anniversary, even a kind of ‘coming of age,’ is worth celebrating. We are grateful to our publishers Routledge Taylor & Francis for suggesting that the Contact Pastoral Trust put together a volume of ten articles chosen from the first ten years of the journal to showcase the growth and development of the discipline in this period. The Trust approached the first editor, Zoë Bennett, and the current editor, Nigel Rooms, to create this volume from the existing corpus of over 180 articles now available online.
