Henri Nouwen describes a spirituality for teachers and students of theology. Comparing his approach to that of the fourth Gospel where the mystery of God's word is declared in the form of a doxology, "a way of giving glory to God," Nouwen suggests that theology as doxology necessarily includes three integral parts. Those are prayer, community and ministry or proclamation. Theology is not a separate discipline; it is living the Word. Therefore, theological education is studying that Word in the four movements of listening to, speaking, reading and writing the Word.
