SOCIAL JUSTICE & FAITH: Integral mission can help church solve global challenges

Integral mission is “foundational” to the church’s response to some of the biggest challenges facing the world today, believes the head of the World Evangelical Alliance, Dr Geoff Tunnicliffe.

Addressing the Christian Management Australia conference at Bondi Beach last week, Dr Tunnicliffe said that a clash of world views, increasing secularism and post-modernism were just some of the “major” challenges to global stability.

He acknowledged that evangelicalism had for many people around the world become synonymous with a narrow social agenda and in some cases US foreign policy, whilst faith communities in some western countries were being “pushed to the edge” of society by the torchbearers of radical secularism.
