Powerlessness is not to be seen as weakness but divine locus because the revelation of God took place outside of power structure. The Biblical testimonies and contemporary experiences of people in the margins show that God is already there among the margins and we cannot define God from the centre and import it to the people in the margins, rather we need to discern how God is at work among the margins.
