Most of the time we hear criticisms from several goverments and individuals on the involvement of the Church in community affairs. In fact; the Church is the link between God and Man and as such it is the duty of the church to identify itself with the poor and oppressed. The Church as the Government of God, is an integral and democratic institution. It is the life of every community which works in the lives of individuals. It is called upon to pledge to freedom, justice, and peace in the world;
to denounce violations of human dignity, to identify itself with the poor and oppressed. This principle does not make the Church a political party or as taking sides with political parties, but as God is the Father of all and above all, His Church is above all parties, appointed by God to see that all justices are done on the planet, The Earth, to freely speak against all injustices and wrong doing.
All persons around the world are called upon to do justice in their administrations. Furthermore, Christian Churches and other religious denominations are called upon to speak out and pray for peace and justice. If the Church, which is to be an instrument of the word of God and the mouth of the oppressed, is to keep silent and be afraid to witness the truth, it means that she has forgotten that Christ was a revolutionary and compassionate, and that he established the Church as a revolutionary God, contradicting himself with the old system, which was contrary to the freedom and welfare of all men.
