Things that make you go "hmmm."

“The theology of liberation means establishing the relationship that exists between human emancipation – in the social, political, and economic orders – and the kingdom of God.” -Gustavo Gutiérrez

I believe that “social, political and economic orders” are created by humanity, certainly by and with what God has given us. So it seems that all we have stands in the way of the freeing act of salvation and yet these are the very same elements that make up our ability to live into the “kingdom of God” here and now. How do we reconcile the tensions of “social, political and economic orders” that both hinder and yet must aid in this endeavor?
