Stella will present on "Theological Reflection of the Relationship Between the Mission of the Church and Marginalized People."
Abstract
This theological reflection of the relationship between the mission of the church and physically-impaired people, specifically hearing-impaired people as those marginalised, is discussed according to the WCC policy statement and other relevant sources. This research also attends to the importance of being and having marginalised people in the church. As a determined dedication to all human rights and justice, the WCC emphasises the church’s mission with regard to margins. The WCC discussions will be our guideline in ways in which the church and society as a whole should be able to act justly moving towards the margins and to advocate in their favour.
