desire/willingness to regularly
consider the integration and
application of theology with
pastoral work though it is still
a struggle to do so; needs
guidance to make these
connections.

Does not regularly attempt to

integrate theology and pastoral
practice; needs guidance to
begin to engage in this process
of reflection.

Please comment on the seminarians capacity for theological integration: _________________________________________________________
