Theology, according to liberation theologians is only a second
step. The first is praxis. A liberating praxis puts the poor and
the marginalised at the centre. It is found in the collective
response of global religious communities responding to crises - and
a global pandemic offers an important case in point, reminding
religions of our shared humanity, and the need for interreligious
cooperation and understanding to effect a positive response. In the
context of seismic socio-economic and political change, religion
provides a communal response for feeding the poor, fighting for
their rights, and challenging the post-colonial financial model
that is now beginning to lose its ground. This book blends an
examination of emerging research on the socio-economic impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic in marginalised communities, with the
author's own research on social and poverty isolation in India, and
his own experience as told in diaries written whilst in lockdown in
a poor district of Santiago, Chile. It challenges majority world
churches and religions in a post-pandemic world to learn from each
other and from Jesus' own identification with the outcast, and
urges them to take on a way of life and prophetic learning from the
world of the poor.
