About Frames of Minds

When I stepped into a seminary for the first time at the age of 21 as an independent candidate, the world of theological education embraced me with open arms. But the structures at play were too rigid and resorted constantly to put me into boxes. What was my native place? What was my community? What was my church background? When I left seminary four years later, with my structures of intelligence altered towards the cause of justice and love, the world of Indian Christianity could not make sense of me. I remain a theological nomad today, much wiser with having navigated both evangelical and ecumenical spaces in Indian Christianity. Does my story resonate with you?

If you believe that there is complacency and gatekeeping in Indian Christian institutions, and if you believe that this directly impacts young seminarians coming fresh out of highest level rigorous academic pursuits, then this space is for you! Since Indian Christianity is in captivity, the generations of the 21st century are witnessing theological and ethical corruption of the highest degree from their so called "leaders." Young seminarians often feel voiceless, directionless, and visionless. Yet, they are the hope for the present and future of Indian Christianity. Can we tap into their frames of minds? Let's hope together for the freedom to speak, write, and sing!
