dc.description.abstract |
The article focuses on the local worshipping community as a site for the spiritual formation of
citizens to become agents of transformation in public life. How are citizens spiritually formed
so that, through their witness and praxis, they become instruments of transformation, thereby
challenging the dominant discourses by offering, through their collective witness and praxis,
redeeming alternatives? To answer this question, the article focuses not on a methodology but
rather offers suggestions as to how to nurture a radical spirituality towards the formation of
agents of transformation. The specific South African context with its numerous socioeconomic
and political challenges as well as the plurality of voices and values need to be taken into
consideration. Therefore the challenge is to develop an inclusive spirituality. |
