The last topic that I will discuss and have some reaction within it is all about the social action of the churches. How it does affect in the community?
Somewhere in the history the link between inner spirituality and its expression in the world as loving social action grew faint because some misuse it or perhaps misinterpret it. That's why it is a great challenge for all spiritual communities now to draw deeply on the substance of traditions yet we must recover the deep and essential connection between spirituality and social action.
In ministering people, I learned and realized that we must present to them that they are cared of not on earthly and physical things by giving them food, clothing, shelter, justice and even education but it is should more clearly to them that we didn't do outreach just to make them convert in our religion but to help them in their physical and spiritual need. The Greatest Commandment as restated by Jesus in the Gospel summarizes concisely the purpose of man’s existence—which is to love God, to love our fellow man and to love ourselves. When we begin to understand that the three parallels, love for God, love for neighbor, and love for self, are the essence of God’s great design for human actions on earth, we will be driven to response.
