+1 862 207 3288 The European Union is an interesting example of regional integration. They are also a good example of some of the risks involved. We discussed the Greek financial crisis in Week 1 and there is an Ethics article on page 124 of your text called “The Greek Tragedy” which explores it further. Greece is not the only question mark in the EU at this time. Turkey’s status may also be in question for other reasons. Discuss the benefits and risks inherent in the EU at this time. Be sure to consider financial, economic, political, and cultural (including religious) perspectives. You will need to do some research to answer this question. Based on the following scripture, is regional integration consistent with evangelism?
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9, 19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
