The New Activism

As we look back over the history of Western civilization, the power of social movements is readily apparent. What is often less apparent is that many influential social movements were driven by faith. With all the ills facing our world, one might wonder if the next generation of Christians might create another social movement that would shift the balance of history. Adam Taylor asserts that if rising Christians are able to connect their faith to a more just society, they are uniquely poised to become the change agents our world needs.
