Over the past five decades, liberation theologians have stressed the notion of Christian practice or praxis (Greek for doing), that is, the notion that being a disciple of Jesus Christ requires action that is congruent with the Gospel, discloses its truth and transforms society. According to Gustavo Gutiérrez, O.P., Jon Sobrino, S.J., and others, Christians should adopt personal and communal forms of life that manifest and promote the coming of Gods kingdom, thereby challenging unjust social, political and economic structures. Orthodoxy (Greek for right belief) should show itself in orthopraxis (Greek for right conduct).
