Theoretical And Practical

A churchgoer asked me: "What's wrong with fornication?" -- as if to say that she couldn't see (all of) the point. I said: "I'll give you some examples from my counselling experience" -- and I portrayed some features of real-life situations. She said: "I didn't realise there's a whole big picture! You should make the congregation aware of that!" OBSERVATION: In fact, issues in general are so often dealt with from the perspective of theoretical rather than practical theology, and the two seem like different worlds.
