Prophetic Mission as Key to Social Justice: That we implement the church's prophetic mission by genuine representation of Africa in places where political and economic decisions are made and implemented; by playing a role of advocacy in identifying injustices and pressing for their redress; that the church be arbiter and promoter of justice and fundamental human values, and be formed into a prophetic community which overcomes violence by incarnating the ethic of non-violence learned from Christ; that the missionary be seen as “prophetic stranger” who works to promote human dignity in opposition to a dominant culture of injustice.
