“One thing, however, is sure: unless Christians fulfill their prophetic role, unless they become the advocates and defenders of the truly poor, witness to their misery, then, infallibly, violence will suddenly break out.

It will be too late to try to calm them and create harmony.” WayTryingSeemsChristianHeavenPoorRolesBreakViolenceOne ThingBloodCryLateHarmonyMiseryCalmWitnessOne WayToo LateDefendersBreak OutProphetic Author:Jacques Ellul
