Abstract
Abstract Oh, if only GodWould Have Been Allowed to Experience this .: Practical Theology, Irony and Poetry. Starting from an example of poetry, a critique of the religious activities in Lourdes, the author sets out to show that also practical theology is part of an endeavour to make the church business flourish (poiesis). However, it also can - like poetry - be involved in the task of speaking with irony, trying out variations and not simply heralding the supposed return of religion. The God-is-dead-theology is a reminder of this. An example from system Christian counseling shows how something like slam poetry can also be an element of Christian practice itself. Poiesis and irony both depend on each other.
