Reframing the social justice discussion - Ed Loane, Tim Swan and Berthier Lainirina
Listen now
Description
Social Justice is a fiercely contested concept among Christians. Often discussions about caring for the poor have not been grounded in a biblical vision for gospel ministry..  Evangelicals have been criticized for appearing to be weak on social justice.  The charge is that we have been so focused on gospel ministry that the poor and disadvantaged have been neglected. How does caring for the poor fit with the mission of Jesus church?  Tim Swan is the CEO of Sydney’s Anglican Aid, which hosted an important conference last weekend ‘Reframing Social Justice.’   Ed Loane is Warden at St Paul’s College in Sydney and lectures in Church History part time at Moore Theological College. Berthier Lainirina is Principal of St Patrick’s Theological College Madagascar Support the show-- To make a one off contribution to support The Pastor's Heart's ministry go to this link, or to become a regular Patreon supporter click here.
