The Dangerous or Revolutionary Potential of Religion When I was a child, I was forced to go to church. I use the word “force” because, I didn’t understand the purpose of church.

For so many, history is just a list of facts and dates.

Concilium Roman Catholics have faith in God in that he is merciful and offers salvation. As stated, “Therefore the Church announces the good tidings of salvation to those who do not believe, so that all men may know the true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent, and may be converted from their ways, doing penance.” In other words they believe that all of the members of the Church are saved if they actively participate in communion, doing good works, and countless other things.

Sunday worship service, Bible study groups, and different kinds of fellowship in the church all show that the importance of togetherness for Christians. Some churches offer free meals or events for everyone to show the hospitality of Christians. It is important to welcome newcomers and care about them. However, though it is safe to stay inside of the church and have connections with the brothers and sisters in the church, Jesus command all of us to make disciples of all nation. It is not…
