Change we Can! Can we?

I just walked into one of that old Nationalised bank after a long time, perhaps with lot of apprehensions. Will I get the transactions get done in time. I prepared myself for the worst and pulled in enough air to my lungs so that i wouldn’t suffocate inside that old dilapidated building.                        

   But lo and behold the inside corridor’s of this 200+  year old bank even in a little city of mine worked wonders. I realised very soon that there was lot of smiles and ample room to skid this beautifully floored miracle.Updated in work and modernised to suit the need!

Change We can. By the way some older banks have not just updated their inside but also have changed even from the outside. Changes to be relevant even to a post modern gen to bank with a “nationalised” bank. Some have changed their logo as well-a radical step indeed- and yet moved ahead successfully.

So how’s that with us-UESI. Especially when we work with the post-modern Gen- shouldnt that be an Auto-updating? Sadly not so i feel.

Can i suggest we think of better ways both in our patters of work as well change say our logo.Bless me that i live some more time.But Change we can -Can we??

We may change the logo, but I am doubtful if that will bring change in the thinking of people. I think what we need is the change in the perspective in the ministry that we do.

There is an excellent blog that discusses the role of university ministries. You can go to http://blog.beliefnet.com/jesuscreed/2009/03/education-discipleship-and-the-1.html#more to check it out. My observation is that many a time we try to duplicate what church is doing, instead of doing what university ministries should actually be doing.

Market Fundamentalism: Societal Impact & Pastoral Implications

Trade and Commerce, termed in general Market, has been a major thrust for the overall development of Globalisation. While Market in general has played an important role in the progress of the society, the present economic ideology pursued by the market, being capitalistic in nature, overlooks stable growth and development ‘for all’. Hence, economists have addressed this market ideology as “Market Fundamentalism.” The endeavour of this essay would be to address the challenges MF has on developing nations; with special reference to the poor, and its implications for Pastoral Care and Counseling. This concern stems from the fact that, though free market economy has almost come to stay, “liberalisation of the international economy and the deregulation of domestic economies have had serious effects in Asia and in the emerging financial markets, leading to economic crisis, unemployment and impoverishment.” 1. MARKET FUNDAMENTALISM The term “Fundamentalism, is a complex phenomenon” . One o...

Kindom of God

The Kingdom of God is the basis of the Church’s involvement in Communities. Since “the Kingdom of God is both present and future, both societal and individual, both physical and spiritual,” René Padilla shares that “eschatology is not an encouragement to escape into the distant future, but an incentive ‘to infuse the world with hope, for both this age and the next...this means that we must...respond to immediate human needs, and press for social transformation.”
