Here’s a second essay that I was permitted to set the topic for. The unit was on contextual theology, and I explored some gaps in Australian Evangelical theology that have contributed to the perpetuation of poverty, and suggested that Aboriginal theology may be helpful for plugging those gaps and deepening the Australian evangelical concern for the poor:

About Clinton Bergsma
I live near Fremantle in Western Australia with my sweet wife and our four children. I love exploring the intersection between theology and practice for all aspects of life, and get excited about finding ways to bring those two together in the life choices available to me. I love learning and making things with my hands, family days, gardening and home produce. I am terrible with a paint brush or camera, and I know nothing about cardiology. I do not own a cardigan. Yet.
I work for Amos Australia and am chipping away at a PhD looking at theologies of supporter engagement Australian Christian development organisations. I tend to order more books than I can read. Actually, I don't tend to. I do.
I find writing is a helpful way for me to process and distill what I'm observing, thinking and feeling as I wander wide-eyed through our fascinating-terrifying-beautiful world, and because the entire process of thinking-writing-re-writing-editing-re-writing is where the goodness lies for me, I don't use AI.
