This guide is for providing helpful resources on topics relating to Youth Ministry.

What is "Contextual Theology?"

Contextual Theology, or inculturation, is understanding the Christian faith within a specific cultural framework.  This type of theological process attempts to create a more meaningful, understandable, and relevant Christian experience by using inclusive and culturally appropriate language, music, and ideas. 

  • Few things are as contextual as the local diocese.  http://GCatholic.org is a website that has information on every diocese in the world! It will have links to diocese' websites, their history, ecclesial documents, and even their twitter feeds!
