Description

The Church as a community of equals is the need of the hour. There is an increasing desire among the faithful in the Catholic Church for greater participation in the administration of ecclesiastical life. Imbibing the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, and as envisioned in Lumen Gentium 32, this book underscores the understanding of the Church as a community of equals. After briefly analyzing the challenges that the Church in India faces, this book spells out pathways to mold the Church in India into a community of equals that genuinely participates in the needs and worries of the people, especially those who are marginalized and are on the peripheries, rediscovering as well her identity as a community of service. This book seeks to help all those involved in the communities, groups, and institutions of the Church in India to foster a radical commitment to Jesus’ vision of His community as a community of equals. This book gives a clarion call to the Church in India to be a genuine inclusive community that includes all categories of people, namely clergy and laity, male and female, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, young and old, and low caste and high caste under the banner of the ‘New People of God.’
