The world is in dire need of prophetic movements for justice and peace. A major challenge for the ecumenical movement is how to live faithfully in times of economic injustice, ecological degradation and empire. Spirituality and mission must be renewed and re-energized with the perspectives of those who cry out for justice and those who live in the hope of Jesus, who promises fullness of life for all people. It is within this context that the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) Accra general council in 2004 rejected neoliberal economic globalization as a death-dealing system and declared, "The integrity of our faith is at stake if we remain silent or refuse to act in the face of the current system of neoliberal economic globalization." Reformed churches worldwide are working to bulild a confessing movement to respond to the Accra Confession. A theology of life is being developed from the perspectives of those who struggle with the undergirding priciples of the sovereignty of God and the imperative to do justice.
