Yes!

"We perhaps have regarded Jesus too exclusively as a hero and not permitted him the status of friend who would value our criticism and contributions, regard the challenges we pose with greater interest than he would our obedience, and be made more aware and caring by our pain, dreams, and demands. If the ministry of Jesus is indeed to the needs and interests of people rather than in the service of principalities of the social order, then we are needed to participate in and expand the ministry."
