A conundrum is a perplexing problem that cannot really be permanently resolved, yet must be dealt with when it occurs. Addressing key intellectual and practical conundrums that trouble practical theology, the panel will identify critical issues that frame the borders, biases, and breakdowns in the construction of theological knowledge in academy and religious communities.
