Social justice, political differences & the church

At a recent event, I was accosted by a younger Christian who spoke to me of the challenge of being an ethnic minority in her church.

In our conversation, she mentioned that recently she had had a conversation with a fellow church member who'd said to her something to the effect that "social justice" was a product of people with a lasting sense of victimhood, and that they were glad of more recent developments in politics and culture.

It seems as though there is a turning tide on the idea of “social justice” being a positive thing.
