For several years, Allen Temple Baptist Church Global Ministries has led youth and young adult missioners to South Africa. We have discovered that some of our youth participants are working as social activists, trying to respond to social issues like racism, sexism, and heterosexism, but they do not see this work as remotely connected to a larger history of Christian public witness or to any Christian community. There appears to be a disconnect between these arenas for them, such that neither informs the other and their spiritual lives are fragmented or compartmentalized. Our sojourns have helped with this problem but they do not go far enough. They have not provided our participants with a complete understanding of how their passion for justice and desire to see a better world connects with their faith. Introduction to, and theological reflection on liberating theologies may help them to see more clearly how their faith intersects with their personal passion for social change. They may discover that theology, when done right, can save the world!
