The process of theological reflection:
1) Define the issue
2) Describe the issue in as much detail as you can
3) Look at parallels and links within your faith
4)Allow those insights and links to widen your thinking about the issue
5) Praxis – it’s action time! What are you doing to do now?
If you’d like to explore Theological Reflection for yourself, there’s a good book out there – it does focus on the Christian traditions, but the methods are the same. “Theological Reflection” by Judith Thompson 2008 (SCM Study Guides)
