For those who stand in the prophetic and apostolic
traditions of the Scriptures, no
neutrality is in fact admissible. These people hear the groans of the
suffering, take a stance, and act. . . The irreversible history of injustice
weighs on the shoulders of the present. . .Justice demands not a perfect map of
the existing world, but nothing less than the undoing of the world, past and
present, and the creation of a new world.
Miroslov Volf, Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological
Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Nashville:
Abingdon, 1996), 221, 223.
