No, we didn't just make it up. It's the plural of 'practic'.

It's used in seminary education, like 'practical theology.'

After recasting the foundational theoretics for the 20th century, all we ever did was the 'practics' of the NRM/NSV.

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have any info regarding the word "practics'?  Is this a word the ICA made up?  We still use the word, but I can't find it in any dictionary.  Do other groups use this word or is it in the vernacular? 

Thanks for any info.
