The last decade has seen a resurgence of the social action of the
local church - responses to social need have included street
pastors, cold weather shelters, debt advice centres and latterly
food banks. The last decade has also seen a greater experimentation
in forms of evangelism, most prominently in the fresh expressions
movement. The intention has been to bring the Church into contact
with people who would not otherwise cross its threshold. All these
changes have led to new pastoral relationships being formed and a
greater awareness of how social change affects real people's lives.
Just Mission draws upon the increased activism of local churches
and links it to effective use of democratic processes to achieve
justice for the people with whom they have a pastoral relationship.
It seeks to explain in a straight forward and theologically-based
way, how they can undertake that task based upon the pastoral work
that arises from their social action and evangelism. Helen Cameron
introduces the political and public theology that is currently
being produced to local church leaders so they can see that
theology has a genuine interest in the dilemmas they currently
face.
