Authors	Veling, Terry A.
Abstract	This essay is a reflection on the place of Catholic practical theology within the field of theological disciplines. It suggests that practical theology is a discipline in the sense that it is a practice or a way of life—a discipleship. To venture a theological life is to live theologically. It is not so much to ask about the ways that theology can be made practical; rather, it is to ask how the practices of my life can be made theological.
