Introduction
Liberation theology analyzes the interrelatedness of all domination to attain political, social, ethnic, racial, economic and sexual parity among all believers. Liberation theory was derived from the word liberate which means salvaging. It put more emphasis on the liberation of Christian from the menace of suffering which comes in many forms such as sexual harassment, racial oppression and poverty. It deals with religious diversity, which is why it is often associated with multidisciplinary. The rights of minority groups are well represented.
Technology has impacted to religion since it has made it possible for people from different denominations to share ideas. Thus, it has promoted interaction between people from different denominations. Christians believers and belief from other faiths should work together to ensure the rights of minority groups are adhered to (Costas 11). Costas who was a greater theologist had put more emphasis on the need for Christians to cross “interethnic, interracial and intercultural boundaries which have deterred the spread of the gospel and development as well” (Costas 121). Every individual should be his or her brother’s keeper.
Education and modernity should be incorporated in church in order to equip Christians with the knowledge that could make them eradicate discrimination in the church and the society in general. Discrimination among believers is a bad aspect because it can cause disintegration in the church. Hence for human solidarity and Christian unity to be attained seminars should be held to eliminate such practices from religions (Sobrino 33).
In order for social justice to be achieved in the society the minority groups should be empowered thus giving them the power to fight for their rights. Education is the best techniques of empowering the minority groups because it will provide them the knowledge to relate with other groups. With education and knowledge, mobilization of different denomination would be easy because understanding each other will not be a problem.
