Description
Being true to her Teacher, the Church in India has to be prophetic without fear or favour. In a developing country, the Indian Church has to render her prophetic voice to help guide new and humane structures and institutions. Above all, the Indian Church would have herself to overcome the internal divisions and become a creative, committed and compassionate community.
The transformation of the Indian Church as a communion of Local Churches, a light to the nations, may be an inspiration to our nation as well to Bend Without Fear.
More than eighteen scholars and theologians have come together to express their hopes and dreams for an Indian Church as a expression of gratitude for the untiring work of Professor Kurien Kunnumpuram SJ, Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth, Pune.
