The Church's Social Responsibility: Reflections on

The Church's Social Responsibility: Reflections on Evangelicalism and Social Justice

The evangelical church has a social responsibility. But what is that responsibility and what does it look like in practice? This collection explores the nature of the institutional churchâ€™s responsibility, but also explores deeper questions related to the churchâ€™s social witness: Why is the church significant? How should it speak and actâ€”and who should do the speaking and acting? And how might various contexts affect the form that Christian responsibility takes? An indispensable tool for answering such questions is the distinction between the church as organism and institution. A proper understanding of this distinction provides the means to appreciate the complexity of social life in the modern world and to invigorate the churchâ€™s witness and action with both the rigor of institutional authority and the vitality of conscientious action.
