The search for God never ends. When confronted with images of cruelty and suffering, humanity questions God’s presence. Traditional theology insisted God could not suffer. Yet the Gospels portray a God of compassion, revealed through Jesus. In this vision, God is not immune to pain but responds with love that transforms suffering into solidarity.

A serious examination of Church practices and power structures is overdue. Only with an honest review can it genuinely promote the rights of women and those long marginalised.

God’s grace is not a commodity we trade for devotion or promises. Scripture insists that divine blessing cannot be earned through bargains, favours, or prayers of convenience. Grace flows from God’s nature, not from our negotiating skills.
