Our Mission is to Ground Theology in Hope
Christianity has, for the most part, strayed from its original theology of hope by becoming too focused on otherworldly concerns, neglecting its role in addressing the suffering and injustices of the world. Christianity should be actively engaged in bringing hope and liberation to the oppressed and marginalized in the here and now, rather than merely emphasizing salvation in the afterlife.

"Christianity", especially in our time, has become an ambiguous concept, no longer resembling the teachings of Christ. It cannot be denied that it has certainly made some wrong turns along the way, becoming something new, perverting the teachings of Christ. We trace the origin of these to the merging of Christianity with the Roman Empire during the 4th Century. As the Imperial Church became more institutionalized and focused on power and control, it lost sight of the dynamic relationship between God's promises and the unfolding of history. Instead, rigid dogma and hierarchical structure overshadowed the transformative message of hope and redemption. Christian history since then has been one of imperial aspirations and the lusting for power and wealth. Nearly all of today's Christian sects and denominations find their roots in this and are not nearly as different from each other as they claim. God is a God of the poor, the sick, the lame, and the oppressed. Christ spoke endlessly about riches, power and mammon and of loving one another. Our mission is to provide teachings and resources for a return to the Christianity of Christ, critiquing "Imperial Christianity" in all its forms and denominations. We shall demonstrate the love of God and a theology of hope, not fear or despair. We Will Also Show How Bad Theology Makes Worse Politics Why Truth and Way?
