  • Church of South India Karimnagar Diocese a Story of Transformation
    Karimnagar Diocese 133 years and Beyond: Church of South India Karimnagar Diocese A Story of Transformation (1879-2012) The Wesleyan Methodist Missionaries from England began working since 1879 in the Districts of Hyderabad, Medak, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Nalgonda. As a result of their mission work Churches were established along with Schools and Hospitals. After the formation of Church of South India in year 1947, Karimnagar and Nalgonda areas from Medak were annexed to the Dornakal Diocese. There was a small village, by name ‘Gulshanabad’, about 85 kilometres from Hyderabad in the erstwhile ‘Nizam’s Dominion’ in the Telangana region of todaýs Andhra Pradesh. According to one tradition, it was a village where flowers were grown on the banks of the rivulet Pasuperu for the rulers of that time. It was perhaps a typical Muslim village with a few people from other communities. The old mosque on top of the hill, and the existence of no other major temple in the village, is an indication to this tradition. The name ‘Gulshanabad’ means ‘a place of flowers’. With the coming of the Methodist missionaries, notably Charles Walker Posnett in 1896, the Story of Gulshanabad to Medak began. William Burgess, a British Methodist missionary from Madras, with Benjamin Wesley, an Indian evangelist, came to Hyderabad in 1879. A year later came Benjamin Pratt. This trio laid the foundations for the Church in Secunderabad and Hyderabad, although British chaplaincies for their military existed long before. The pictures of William Burgess and Benjamin Pratt are on display in the CSI Wesley Church, Clock Tower, and Secunderabad.

  • Dalit Theology and Indian Christian History in Dialogue: Constructive and Practical Possibilities
    religions Article Dalit Theology and Indian Christian History in Dialogue: Constructive and Practical Possibilities Andrew Ronnevik Department of Religion, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76706, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this article, I consider how an integration of Dalit theology and Indian Christian history could help Dalit theologians in their efforts to connect more deeply with the lived realities of today’s Dalit Christians. Drawing from the foundational work of such scholars as James Massey and John C. B. Webster, I argue for and begin a deeper and more comprehensive Dalit reading and theological analysis of the history of Christianity and mission in India. My explorations—touching on India’s Thomas/Syrian, Catholic, Protestant, and Pentecostal traditions—reveal the persistence and complexity of caste oppression throughout Christian history in India, and they simultaneously draw attention to over-looked, empowering, and liberative resources that are bound to Dalit Christians lives, both past and present. More broadly, I suggest that historians and theologians in a variety of contexts—not just in India—can benefit from blurring the lines between their disciplines. Keywords: Dalit theology; history of Indian Christianity; caste; liberation 1. Introduction In the early 1980s, Christian scholars in India began to articulate a new form of Citation: Ronnevik, Andrew. 2021. theology, one tethered to the lives of a particular group of Indian people.

  • “When They Divided the Purusa, Into How Many Parts Did They Arrange
    RELIGIOUS IDENTITY AND RENEWAL: JEWISH, CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM EXPLORATIONS Identity Past: Who are We and What Constitutes Identity - Busi Suneel Bhanu*1 - Identity is an unfathomable as it is all-pervasive. It deals with a process that is located both in the core of the individual and in the core of the communal culture. - Erik Erikson A. Introduction ‘Identity’ is an integral part of every human being. However, understanding and identifying the identity of a person is a complex process and being dependent on varied and diverse factors, it is a life-long search and struggle. Identity is plural, changeable and can be overcome as well. One can change his/her identity of nationality through immigration and naturalization; one can also change the identity of his/her gender from male/female to female/male and to transgender; and changing of religious and political identities are also possible. I wonder at these un-ending possibilities that offer some of us to develop alternate identity/identities. But when it comes to ‘caste’, especially in our Indian context, one is born into it and hence dies in the same caste-identity. When I reflect on my self-identity, in my story, I am reminded of the saying of Prophet Jeremiah, ‘Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?’ (Jeremiah 13:13a). a) Identity Past -The Creation Narrative I was born and brought-up in a Christian and well-educated family. While my father was a well-placed official in the Government, my mother was a School teacher. We lived in a town, about 12 kilometers away from the ancestral village of my father.

    Cycle of Prayer 08 September 2019 - 11 January 2020 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword I’ll never forget, after a long walk with my Dad, in Pendle, Lancashire, sipping a pint in a pub and chatting to the locals. Five minutes later I was surprised to turn to see my Dad placing his arthritic hand into the dirty palms of a particularly burly local farmer as they bowed their heads in prayer. I didn’t quite know where to look or what to do, so I lowered my head and kept quiet. It seemed like the right thing to do, and it helped me avoid the gaze of the growing number of amused boozy onlookers. That was my first and slightly embarrassing introduction to prayer. Since then I’ve travelled a long way, but I still remember the first tentative steps I took for myself. I also remember just how uncomfortable and alien praying felt to me. For those well versed in the lifelong discipline of prayer, it can perhaps be easy to forget just how strange the whole thing can be to start. I am grateful to one good colleague from many years ago who shared with me the William Temple quote: ‘When I pray, coincidences happen, when I don’t they don’t.’ As you pray during this period, please pray for those who are just starting and giving it a go.
