Glimpses into the Book
P.14:- “Inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue cannot be reduced to an optional extra. It is, in fact, a vital necessity on which, in large measure, our future depends.” (Pope Benedict XVI) P.337:- “I believe that before we take into account theologizing in the context, we have to be clear about the identity, our heritage and our tradition. Our theologizing must be based on the liturgy. For the Orientals, tradition is mainly expressed and embodied in the liturgy” (Mar Joseph Powathil). P.29:- “A genuine theologization from the Jewish, biblical, and east Syriac line taking into consideration the spiritual and cultural traditions of this country should be the dominant lines in articulating the dimensions of our theology.” (Mar Joseph Kallarangatt) P.68:- “It is the individualized Christ- experience of one or more apostles that has given rise to the various individual Churches and it is the decisive element of the Church’s faith- expression” (Dr. Mathew Vellanickal). P.55:- “The socio-economic realities emerging today, as the result of globalization and market economy also need to be brought to the theologizing process. All this calls for change in theological approach itself. More than ‘teaching theology” emphasis must go to “teaching to do theology.’” (Dr. George Karakkunnel) P.34:- “In the formation period of the Syro-Malabar liturgy there were local, cultural and religious adaptation in an organic way. Later this posibility became obscure and non-operative. This is an area which needs much study and research.” (Dr. Jacob Vellian) P.113:- “In the Indian context, the Syro-Malabar theology has to take into account the problems of the Dalits and marginalized ones. While encountering the Dalits, the Eucharistic theology cannot but be a Dalit theology.” (Dr. Pauly Maniyattu) P.190:- “We need today not only liturgy-centered theology, but also people-centered theologies and other new ways of theologizing according to our context and time.” (Dr. Kuncheria Pathil) P.229:- “A theological inculturation combining the vision of the Oriental Church with the Indian genius is yet to be perfected with deeper and more integrating studies of both of them”. (Dr. Francis Vineeth CMI)
