Role Of Theology Forums In Saving 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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
