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.

Theology has the power to counter these ideologies and fight for the many with small voices in the community. If the trend goes on minority will have no say in the community. There is also a possibility that they will not be involved in decision making processes. The result will be the human right will be no longer respected and human dignity eroded making the meaning of life be altered.

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 world needs urgent change. Its goals and values should take a new dimension that is qualitative and interpersonal rather than personal. The community should focus more on real needs of the people and their aspirations. We should ensure maintain a good relationship with the environment, God and people we live with.

Most nations today are going through moments of change. They are facing the challenge of making choices. For instance Ireland has now embarked on a new journey and there are many decisions to make. In such moments all people have a right to be involved in decision making. It is necessary we know that every opinion matters.

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.

Working towards progress and achievement of goals without considering values that should be maintained can lead to adverse problems. Religious groups should ensure that the morals and values of the community are maintained even as people struggle for a better future. Where all groups and people are not allowed to contribute in decision making there is a high probability injustice may arise.
