Theology Forums Should Shape The Future

By Tracie Knight


The recent changes in political, social and economic sector are posing a church of eliminating the view that Christianity has given life. The trends require people to rethink about the organization that we have in our societies. It is vital that we know if the lifestyle that the world is changing towards is what God intended. Religious groups and theology forums have a mandate to restore and maintain the morals and view that government and people should have towards life. As we work towards our achievements in life it is necessary that the world maintains the organization that God intended.

It is a concern that when highly regarded people speak they give people an image of a future where power will be in the hands of economically and politically powerful. The simple elite will be honored more and the disadvantaged in the society will no longer have a voice. It gives an image of a future where economy is expending quickly and the gaps between the rich and less fortunate is widening.

Theological groups are the only movements that can save the future. If the trend continues the minority and disadvantaged will no longer be heard. We will have a setting where they are not given an opportunity to be involved in decision making. The end result will be a people who have lost the meaning of life, human dignity is eroded and human rights no longer recognized.

These upcoming way of life and ideologies need to be challenged if we have to save the future. Christianity is against divisions and we should all seek to eliminate them. It is vital that we ensure a balance even as nations struggle to achieve their values, goals and priorities.

The current trends need to take a new dimension because change is necessary. There is need for a society that sees itself as part of the large whole is we will have qualitative growth. Nations should put more effort on real concerns of the people and aspirations. The need to maintain a healthy relationship between people, God environment should be emphasized.

Every nation is at a moment change. The human history and race is faced with the challenge of making choices about the future. Currently Ireland is focusing on a new journey where it is faced with choices that must be made. These moments are vital and we need to participate in them. The gospel encourages people to be involved in shaping a future.

Ireland is good reference for a nation whose future is at risk. It is unfortunate that the nation has been going through a period of economic, political and social progress but still facing social inequality. The increasing divisions and widening gaps between the poor and rich has also been evident in the nation.

It is dangerous to aim on achieving set goals without noting the values that should be maintained. Religious and theological groups are the only movements that can protect the rights of the minority in the society given the economic competition. Ensuring that all people and groups are involved in decision making is the only way to prevent inequality and injustice.
