Dhamaka 67 ‘Preach without preaching…..’ How is this possible? But this is exactly what was done by St. Francis of Assisi who had requested a brother to accompany him for preaching in the city. The brother, who was raw, could not understand the depth of the meaning in the reality bytes of the walk in the city, praying, thanking God and sharing without words which carried a better sermon than the one preached from the pulpit. Two thousand years ago, in the stillness of silence, without pomp or ads, decorations or celebrations, hustle or bustle the birth of the King and Redeemer took place, wherein no political or religious dignitary arrived. His silent birth was sensed by the alert shepherds who had the wisdom to grasp the song of the angels, three Magi who were waiting for the signs, recognized the star of hope. His silence, birth in the stable, poverty stricken atmosphere, and the swaddling clothes all spoke to those who had the eyes to see, grace to grasp and the vision to behold the divinity. Gandhiji’s advice to his contemporary missionary Christians is “You Christians, especially missionaries, should begin to live more like Christ. You should spread more of the gospel of love and you should study non- Christians faiths to have more sympathetic understanding of their faiths. Christians should not just preach, but should put into practice what they preached. To live the gospel is the most effective in the beginning, in the middle and in the end… a life of service and uttermost simplicity is the best preaching… A rose does not need to preach. It simply spreads its fragrance. The fragrance is its own sermon.” Yes, the fragrance has its own sermon, how true it is! There is a spark of divinity in each of us. In some it is vibrant and in others it is dormant. All are gifted with the grace of baptism and the riches of the heart. Today’s youth are looking for role models, witnesses of credibility. We as religious are called upon to practise the culture of ‘the Eucharist’ a giving culture. May the New Born BABE of Bethlehem gift us with the heart of Mary to toil in the world of Martha. Let me take this opportunity to wish each one of you a very Happy Christmas and a grace filled New Year 2018 with wonderful surprises. Let’s be on the road, preaching the ‘Sermon of Fragrance!’ * Sister Rose Agnes A.C. Editor ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○4 December 2017 SECTION 1 : SPECIAL EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS TWIN CELEBRATIONS!! Sister Maria Ashel A.C. Carmel Convent Gangolli ‘It takes many hands to build a house but many hearts to make it a beautiful dwelling’ Yes, the dream and the hard labour of the golden years passed came to a happy ending with our Lady of the Ocean standing firm for years, stretching out her mantle of protection over Carmel Convent, Gangolli. We the sisters of Carmel Convent, Gangolli raise our hearts and minds in thanksgiving for the glorious 50 years of blessings. We call it a twin celebration because we had an added reason to rejoice on December 17, 2016 when we celebrated the Golden Jubilee of the Convent along with the Inauguration and Blessing of our new Convent building at Gangolli. We remember with gratitude the pioneering sisters who gave their dedicated services in this sea coastal place. They toiled relentlessly for the upliftment of the fisher-folk and for the better education of their children. As the golden years were approaching the need for a new dwelling place was planned and it was followed soon by the laying of the foundation stone. With much prayer and through great efforts the newly erected building was ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○December 2017 5 ready for the inauguration and blessing. Our dear Bishop Most Rev. Gerald Isaac Lobo, the priests, sisters, parishioners, the well wishers, the contractor and the workers witnessed this twin celebration. Sister Carmel Rita our dear Provincial Superior cut the ribbon and whispered a prayer. The blessing of the new building was done by our Vicar Vara Father Anil D’Souza and our dear parish priest Father Albert Crasta. The solemn Mass was offered by the Bishop with ten other priests. The angelic choir conducted by our parishioners was rich and melodious helping the faithful to participate actively in the Holy Eucharist. Sister Basilissa the only surviving member of the pioneering group was present for this great occasion. The past and the present Superiors were honoured on this special day. The untiring services of the engineers, contractor, bar bender and all the building workers were recognized with gifts and words of gratitude. Thus the short stage programme included the speeches of the main guests who appreciated and specially mentioned the hard labour, the loving and dedicated services of our sisters rendered in the school, parish and to the people around. The celebration was made even more meaningful and wonderful with the festive meal offered to all. The celebration did not end with the blessing and the inauguration of the new convent. Sisters were rushing here and there because the eve was approaching for Stella Maris High School to jubilate with the Golden Celebration to mark this awesome event and to record it in the history of Gangolli. The enthusiasm, meticulous planning of the Headmistress, staff, students and the old students are commendable. The loyalty, respect and honour bestowed by the old students in taking the entire past and present staff to the stage is an unforgettable memory. People shed tears of joy and gratitude. The performance of the past and present students on the stage created a special eagerness and attention and all those who witnessed this auspicious event returned home with tremendous satisfaction. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○6 December 2017 Yes, the twin celebration is over but its echo is still heard in the sea of Gangolli. The sweet memories are like tides which keep on dancing and touching the mind - the sea shore every now and then. We owe our heartfelt thanks to all those who added their little or big share of cooperation, support and above all the joy to make this twin celebration a memorable one. This significant event has given new life to Stella Maris High School as all of a sudden there were additional admissions to Std. VIII. We journey with our Lady of the ocean, facing the rough and calm waves, keeping our gaze fixed on Jesus, hoping to reach the same port. From gold we look forward to the diamonds on the sea shores of Gangulli!! ****** EUCHARISTIC - COMMUNITY DAY at M.I.C Sister M. Susan A.C. Mary Immaculate Convent, Bengaluru “Something rare, something memorable”, “MIC” Mary Immaculate Convent chapel is a semi parish. The devoted laity comes for daily Mass at 6.30 a.m. and on Sundays at 7a.m., and the chapel is filled to capacity. We are privileged to have the CMI Fathers of Christ University, Bengaluru as our regular weekly chaplains: Rev. Fathers Biju, Viju, Varghese, Benny and Sebastian. Since Rev. Father Varghese was elected as the new Provincial Superior of the Mysore Province this year, the weekly chaplains have adjusted their turns so that we are never left without a priest for daily ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○December 2017 7 Mass. Off and on, either Father Abraham or Arun or Jossy or Sunny or Jobi or Joy, replace the regular weekly chaplains, when they are out of station. Praise the Lord! Something unheard off! Something so rare! Since the last 29 years dating from 1988, we have as our Sunday Chaplain: “The Colonel Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Thomas Chathamparambil CMI, Vice Chancellor of Christ University, Bengaluru.”As usual this year too, on July 3, 2017, we had a Festive Mass in honour of his feast.

This work has been complemented by sources duly acknowledged and cited using Chicago Manual Style. Signature Date 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT My study of theology was initiated in 2009 by the then Provost of St. Stephens Cathedral, Nairobi, the late Ven. Canon John Ndung’u who was a great encouragement to me. This was further made possible through my bishop the Rt. Rev. Joel Waweru and the Rev. Geoffrey Okapisi who were sources of inspiration. My studies at Carlile College (Church Army Africa) and St. Paul’s University laid a strong theological foundation and I appreciate among others the influence of the Rev. Dr. John Kiboi who introduced me to Philosophy, Systematic Theology, Ethics, and African Christian Theology that eventually became the foundation for my studies at the University of the South. I also appreciate the encouragement of my lecturers Mrs. Tabitha Waweru and Dr. Scholarstica Githinji during my Study of Education at Kenya Technical Trainers College and at Daystar University respectively.

TOM TANK November, 2016 Dear Parishioners, As I write this the election is yet to take place. As you read this, it has already been completed. Whoever has won will need our prayers for guidance as our new president assumes office in January. This has been a very difficult election cycle with much acrimony and debasement. Hopefully our society will rise above this and will move forward now in a spirit of reconciliation and collaborative effort. We need to pray that all our civic leaders, president, senators and representatives, will all work together not for the good of their particular party, but for the good of our nation. Very shortly we will begin the season of Advent, the beginning of a new Church year. With this Advent we pray for a renewed spirit of faith and openness to the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our world.

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.
