Towards A Transformed Indian Church: After the Ecclesial Event of the Pandemic

Edited By Sebastian Kuthukallunkal, OFMCap

From a theological perspective the immensity of the suffering of the poor, whose magnitude was never visible, shocked us into the realization of the Church’s role, or the absence of it, in Indian society. What should be the ideal/evangelical relation between the two? How does it challenge human interaction with the cosmos? What about gender equality in the Church and society? These and other questions confronted us as never before. This was the beginning of the studies published in this volume. They explicitly challenge our understanding of God, religion, rationality, superstition, gender relations, religious life, priesthood, spirituality etc. They also suggest how these issues can be best dealt with.
