paying it forward, also called "the gospel"
As a believer that the Gospel is a plan, put into motion by God, not only to answer the question of eternity, but also to solve the social evils that plague us now, I found the film Pay It Forward particularly poignant and can’t help but believe that it was a great tool that the church totally missed.

I probably won't be passing this on, but I will answer it.
"Newbigin is clear, even eloquent about this. He stongly affirms the priesthood of all believers and the role of leadership in the church to cultivate this priesthood among all the members. Such a priesthood, he writes, 'has to be exercised in the world.'"
From Models of Contextual Theology by Stephen B. Bevans
