Abstract
"Beginning on Wall Street in New York City and spreading to more than 80 nations worldwide, the “Occupy” movement was a key iconic trend defining the year 2011. Branding itself as “the 99 per cent,” the movement has protested against a grossly disparate socialeconomic wealth divide. I believe these are cries for a more just world order. Therefore, may God indeed raise us up to the high paths of compassion, mercy and justice. With this in mind, I argue in this paper that integral to global Pentecostalism as an ecclesiological tradition and Christian spirituality is a vision of God’s justice and witness as the justified people of God. When the Spirit renews this vision in us, our ecclesial life should evidence the coming together of diverse socialeconomic, generational, and ethnically stratified peoples into heterogeneous communities. In this manner, we witness to God’s reign as proleptic signs to His healing for all creation."
