Role Of Theology Forums In Shaping 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.

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.

Religious and theological groups are the only hope that the world has to conquer the future. If nothing is done the minority will be discriminated. Few people will be allowed to participate in decision making and the lest their opinion will not be taken into consideration. The result of this is a society where people have lost the meaning of and human life and dignity is no longer up held.

This vision needs to be countered to save the future. Christianity clearly states we should not allow such divisions in the community but seek to do away with them. It is important we work towards a balance even as we strive to achieve our goals, values and priorities.

There is need for change in the world. Its values and goals should move towards qualitative rather than quantitative interpersonal from personal. We should lay more emphasizes on real needs and aspirations of the people. We need the community to focus on maintaining a balance in their relationships with people, God and the environment.

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 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.
