ABSTRACT
According to Lig, the primary task of practical theology is to resource the church to be conformed to the gospel. From this perspective the conclusion is inevitable that British practical theology finds itself cut off from such a primary task. The main reason Lig never wrote his magnum opus was that he was so busy doing his practical theology in action. For Lig, practical theology should respond to such questions from the universal level of the world church to the most local level of individuals-in-Christian-community. Lig took theology seriously as something to be put to work in the service of evangelism. Lig represents the practical theologian as preacher. Apostolic and evangelistic theology centres on the church's vocation for God's world. Lig's theology therefore focuses on catechesis, reform and praxis. He also says Apostolic and evangelistic theology centres on the church's vocation for God's world.
