Abstract
Theological reflection has become a popular activity with a number of texts being devoted to this area. However, there is a relative dearth of tools for evaluating the experiential situation within a framework of scientifically gathered data. This article explores the concept of rich pictures from Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology as a tool for supporting theological reflection. As an illustration of the method, the scenario of an Anglican parish in which the researcher evaluated an extended Communion scheme is used. The conclusion is that rich pictures are extremely useful and helpful for theological reflection, especially providing a scientific base for decisions and actions as well as recognizing the personal position of the researcher.
