|a In spite of the obvious presence of the Christian churches and the experience of abject poverty in the Akwa Ibom State community, there is no model so far for the different Christian churches to join forces together in combating poverty. In this thesis-project, the author will create a model that will help the Church’s leadership to promote respect for economic rights as a means to poverty alleviation. The model “Churches Acting Together for Poverty Alleviation” (CAPTA) will be created at the end of this project. CAPTA will be a strong reminder to the Church’s leadership, as well as the members within the Akwa Ibom State community, of the significant role that the Church is expected to play not only in the religious and spiritual but also in the socio-economic aspects of human life in particular and society in general. There is no doubt that the model will also assist the leaderships of different Christian churches and their members to come together to share in the ministry of the Church in the spirit of mutual trust and genuine concern for the pastoral care of the citizens, especially the poor within the state. The model will also help them as sharers in Christ’s ministry to represent the people by speaking and listening to the government on poverty related issues. Alleviating poverty by means of respecting economic rights through the Church’s leadership becomes the hinge on which the entire project rotates. Using theological methods, I will create a model for ecclesial leadership that enhances economic justice and care for the poor. It is my belief that such a model will also promote the Church’s mission and restore economic rights to the community. |
