Exploring Public Theology: Engaging Communities in Common Discernment and Justice

This paper delves into the essence of public theology as it intersects with social history, ecclesial community building, and the advocacy for the marginalized. It emphasizes the importance of engaging in collective discernment over societal issues that affect our shared lives. By respecting the interpretative circles between faith and reality, this work aims to build inclusive communities that prioritize the voices of the poor and excluded. The discussion draws on theological perspectives, historical contexts, and the necessity for relational approaches in today’s complex world.
