A Church for the World: The Churchs Role in Fostering Democracy and Sustainable Development challenges theologians and lay readers alike to think about the role of the church vis- -vis its responsibility to the world. How may the church contribute to democracy and foster sustainable development? Contributors from mostly non-Western theological communities offer historical, developmental, ecclesiastical, and theological perspectives on the church-world relationship, challenging misconceptions and practices that prevent the church from living up to its transformational vocation as salt and light in the world (Matt. 5:13-16). The driving force behind the questions and perspectives discussed here is Gustavo Gutierrezs axiom in A Theology of Liberation: A theology which fails to address the most urgent needs of ordinary people is not worthy of the word theology. Proceeding from this insight, this book creates awareness about the relationship between religion, democracy, and development, and aims to strengthen the self-understanding of the church with regard to its responsibilities in the world.
