The Church’s foundation is based on the message and life of Jesus. Jesus’ ministry as envisioned in the gospels motivates the church to be pragmatic in essence while the Old Testament witnesses and writers emphasize the need to be critical of the existing social and religious beliefs. The Church, being instituted in this world, has a responsibility to respond to God’s invitation to be creative, compassionate and active. ‘Welfare of the whole of creation’ is a profound Biblical theme that supposedly makes the earth a more comfortable place to live in. We are to strive to take this responsibility as “Responsible believers”.
