This book starts with the premise that the outworking of faith can and should be social. It holds in tension two positions — that religion and politics need to be separate and that they properly belong together — and makes the case that God’s way of ensuring wholeness requires keeping both the Spiritual and Social together. The idea that social action has a religious basis, is at the heart of the Gospel.
Rev. Alford Alphonse
As a career pastor, I have served in the The United Kingdom, Caribbean, Panama and, of course, in the United States of America. Unlike many here, I have never drawn rigid distinctions between and among the the spiritual teachings of the Bible, social equity and justice. Instead, I have embraced the idea that the Bible and the Gospel call for spirituality to be integrated with social policy and attititudes.
