| Abstract | "The 1985 Kairos Document came as a call to discern the devastating crises apartheid was causing and for the church to understand this as a Kairos moment and a call for conversion and action. Thirty years later Christians and faith communities across the world are facing global apartheid: in growing social and economic inequalities, environmental devastation, the destruction of societies and victimization of the defenseless through endless war and violence, and degradation of human dignity on a global scale are confronted with global apartheid. This book is call to discern these crises and to respond with faithful, prophetic resistance for the sake of the common good. "-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "In 1985, the Kairos Document emerged out of the anti-apartheid struggle as a devastating critique of apartheid and a challenge to the church in that society. Today, with global struggles against an equally destructive global apartheid, this book is a call to discern new moments of crisis, discernment and kairos, and respond with prophetic resistance to global injustice"-- Provided by publisher. |
