Today, we got to discuss a bit more about the praxis model of theology contextualization.
I can understand why this way of doing would be so widespread and growing. It seems many churches are paralyzed by their structure. They feel the need for change, for action, for outreach, for having their place in society, however the best solutions found for these problems are often things such as changing the leadership or creating a new ministry, restructuring their church entity.
According to the praxis model, the first step would be to go and do it and the rest would follow: learning, theory and structure.
I believe this is something that the world needs to see and know: Church is not all about meeting twice a week and singing pop songs. We are the physical body of Christ in this world, and as such we are to continue the work He has started. What good could be done to the world around us, and what a testimony of God’s love it would be.
