Abstract

[It will not be surprising that in our reflections on the meaning of kairos, prophetic preaching, that particular, extraordinarily difficult and dangerous calling of speaking truth to power, would loom large. And rightly so. Once kairos discernment turns a crisis into a kairos moment of conversion and commitment, prophetic witness and intervention are called for. For the poor and vulnerable the social, political, and economic crises caused by the abuse of power, rampant greed, and political indifference are not mere momentary disturbances. They do not appear and torture and then leave of their own volition or are magically removed by some benevolent source. They are the life-long condition of the oppressed and the downtrodden.]
