LOOKING AT OUR YOUTHS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY AS THE AGENTS OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION OF HUMAN COMMUNITY
The essay is entitled, looking at our youths in the twenty-first century as the agents of social transformation of human community. The youths are called to transform the human community from within, making it new. The youths cannot fulfill effectively this task of transforming the human community unless they are truly and genuinely in-born in the root of religion. Religion is the accumulated wisdom of humanity about how we can relate to the human community. Youth is not simply age, but it can be born of age. Youth is something nurtured and tended by religion, starting with the most natural territory of one's self. The active presence of the youths in the vital process of transforming the human community is concretized particularly and effectively in the materials and literatures used on the pages of the essay. We are then led to consider the place of method of systematic theology of seeing, judging and acting, which gives certain guidelines to youths when engaging in transformation of the human community. The method offers the benefits of mutual participation and sharing of the youths in the existential life of a living community. The essay contributes in a greater measure to the inner life of the young people and enables them to develop a perspective which will open them to the depth dimension of their daily life. The result is that youths are.placed into the tradition of systematic theology of seeing, judging and acting. The method gives the youths their psychic roots. We recommend to the twenty-first century youths to locate their psychic roots, to be fully active participants and not passive witnesses in the life of the community and to deepen their methods of the transformation of the experiences and memories of the human community.
