Proclamation and Theology
What we believe about something will always shape what we do with it.
We desperately want to see change, but if we rush headlong into social action without thinking about the theology of what we do and why we do it, our efforts will have a very weak foundation. Church and Community believe that we must never apologise for Jesus our hide our faith.
Instead, as Christians we should be able to be clear in our explanations of why we do what we do. Our theology matters and our words can be life-changing. We want to help you to have answers ready because people will ask! Please explore this page to find resources and organisations to help you deepen your theological understanding of your call and ministry and sharpen your ability to share Jesus through words whenever the opportunity arises.
