Will the Christians Balance; Exploring the Socio Economic Collaboration within the House of Faith

Abstract

Collaboration of Churches among themselves is an expression of adherence and response to the truths shared in the Bible. This paper aims to encourage all the parties living and working particularly in the urban Church to consider the outcome of their ministry in an economically divided society. The disparity between the urban rich Church and the poor Church is a representative of the actual life in the Christendom. It is important to have an urban Church that is conscious of the gap between the rich and the poor and the subsequent action influenced by the realization that the gap is a denial of the Theology of the Kingdom of God. The writing of this paper was informed by the widening gap between the rich and the poor Churches within the house hold of faith. convinced that out there, there is less interaction between the rich and the poor churches. The poor church had limited access to resources for economic development. I would therefore suggest that; rich churches need to strategically engage the poor churches to prompt collaborative measures. Poor churches on the other hand, must seek ways in which to work with their rich counterparts for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.
