EXPLORING NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW INDIA

Abstract

Twenty years from now, we will perhaps be looking back and pondering the role of the Church in the new India of the 21st century. Did the Church rise up and take its place in the new India or did it sit back as an observer during one of the most momentous economic and societal shifts ever known? This article will explore some of the cultural changes currently happening in India and then consider two new paradigms that the Western Church must consider in order to be relevant for the needs of the Indian Church today and in the future.
