Thanks Samuel and Rene - it is a privilege to see evangelical theology being worked out in a context - Latin America - rather than simply imported and imposed from another context. We in Europe have much to learn from our brothers and sisters in Latin America and their responses to the social challenges they face. Our challenges may be different (maybe not) but injustice is present in every society and requires a theological response. Is not the theological repsonse to our context a way of provide the foundation for making disciples - people who learn what God is like, what he thinks and then follow his ways?
