Easter Themes: Resurrection, freedom, eternal life, victory, joy
Evangelical Christianity has long been plagued by a dichotomy between worship and ethics, faith
and politics and evangelism and social action. In this series we will demonstrate that there is no
tension between these areas and the issue should never have been one of ‘either/or’ but rather
‘both/and’. The message here is that the power of the gospel must address the desperate social,
economical, political, physical and spiritual needs of a broken world. In other words, the Christian
faith is not a private matter but involves a new community which challenges all the misuses of
power in our world. The challenge for us is to journey together toward the common good that God
desires for this hurting and troubled world.
