How do we describe morality and theology that comes from and helps to guide the work of building a movement?  Morality is not a strategy, being right is not enough.  Liberation theology is one way of understanding a different kind of morality, that is fearless in its critique, but thoroughly engaged in and coming out of the struggle, and can contribute to establishing a world of love, justice.  All theology should be liberating. Not purely academic, take sides.  Must be directed at learning about what we’re up against in order to breakdown and help unlearn those ideologies/theologies that are destructive.
