Role Of Theology Forums In Shaping The Future

By Tracie Knight


The current social, political and economic trends are threatening the way Christianity has shaped the perception people towards life. Given the current trends it is important that people ask themselves hard questions such as; if the organization of the community promotes equality and if the current lifestyle is what God intends it to be like. Theology forums and religious groups are faced with the responsibility of maintain and restoring what has been lost. Even as we endeavor for progress it is important we might the organization that God wants in the society.

Every time the economically and politically powerful address the future. They give the society the mindset that those who contribute more to the production process are more important. They give a future vision where power will be in hands of the simple elite. They visualize a fast expanding production, greater competition and wider gaps between the poor and rich.

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.

In order to save the future of the society this trends of life and ideologies need to be challenged. Christianity condemns divisions hence we should work towards eliminating them. As we struggle towards a better future we should remember the need to maintain morals and values.

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.

Most nations are going through a period of change where choices need to be made. A good example is Ireland which embarked on a new journey. The nation needs to look at its history and make important decisions. Considering the opinion of everybody is vital for sustainable development and helps avoid erosion of values and morals.

Ireland is nation that gives us a good view of a threatened future. The nation has gone through social, political and economic progress but is still threatened by social inequality. The divisions in the society continue to increase and the gaps between the rich and the poor is growing wider.

It is evident that if a nation puts efforts to achieve its goals without considering the values that should be maintained it can lead to greater problems. From Ireland it is evident that economic growth can result to greater divisions if it is not handled properly. Lack of involvement of religious groups and all people in decision making can lead to vulnerability of the disadvantaged groups in the society. Religious groups and forums have a mandate to check on this.
