This article originated at curriculum development workshops for seminaries at different venues in sub-Saharan Africa. Its goal was to provide guidelines towards finding a hermeneutic key to practising theology contextually as a response to a process of spiritual discernment which would lead to a contextualised, missional theological curriculum and training. It briefly described elements of the history and context of theological training in the Christendom paradigm. It has little faith in the future of this paradigm, and argued that the southern shift of the heartland of Christianity points us in a new direction. The article said: look at the changing context, the influence of globalisation and the information revolution and revisit key theological parameters in Scripture. Observe what is happening in missional congregations and let all of these developments guide us on a journey to discover a new hermeneutic to do and teach theology in Africa

In religious Africa, theological education and ministerial formation are strategically important, as leadership development impacts church practice and supports community well-being and development. In a time of profound fragmentation, the great aspiration of “integration” is seen as a solution to connect and transform ministry training, with little consensus, however, about what the term means. Since African theological education needs to respond to training in innovative ways, this article reports on an African study on integrative theological education. It reveals the institutional and contextual challenges that impinge on educational practice and underlines integration as a key approach to professional education.
