Week 7 - Wednesday Class Reflection

It seems like the praxis model typically revolved around a marginalized people group. Liberation theology is the example given in Bevans about this. My question: How do you do praxis model in rich, white suburbs? Am I wrong in understanding it as tied to more marginalized groups? Maybe it is just the practice of listening, reflecting and doing - a practice that can be done with anyone. I ask this question because I like the praxis model and, like many, I know it's possible my ministry may end up being in suburbia.

It's a good question, I think there needs to be room for this kind of approach -- how do you get a suburban church to redirect its attention towards the marginalized.
