Theology Forums Should Shape The Future

By Tracie Knight


The current economic, social and political trends are threatening to change the view that Christianity has given people towards life. There are several questions that people need to ask themselves, such as does the current organization of the society promote equality? Theology forums have a responsibility to shape the world. The current trends leave many to wonder if this is how God wants the society to be organized.

When the politically and economically powerful address people they shape their minds in a way that shapes them to view those that contribute more to production as more important. They make us imagine of a future where power will be vested in the simple elite and the minority in the society will be barely recognized. It makes people visualize a society that is fast expanding with more competition but bigger gap between the rich and the poor.

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.

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.

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 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.
