The articulation of the common Vision of the Diocese Of Amritsar, (CNI) was made at one of the Diocesan Conferences held at Shimla with view to give the Diocese a direction for its mission and ministry in future beyond the year 2000.

The catch slogan emerged during the discussions was: that the diocese needs a diverse ministry of the whole people moving from 'pastor-centered' to 'people-centered', local and global, with all diversities integrated and all aspects included. The evangelical and spiritual renewal as central to the diocese, new ministerial formation, must aim at rejuvenating and mobilizing its all ministerial wings and the congregations, progressing from 'self- indulgence' to 'sharing', and from 'dependence' to 'supporting.'

 

We visualize and discover; people being renewed in faith and service, in Jesus Christ, constantly growing and relating to the world towards realization of the Kingdom Of God.


Common Vision of
The Diocese of Amritsar

The Common Vision, as articulated, requires deep re-thinking for a common commitment to the discipleship of Jesus Christ who is the lord and the master of the Church. It needs developing of new models of integration based on enduring tolerance that would encourage participatory involvement of the people of other faiths too, and sharing of the diverse cultural heritage in the Indian context. Thus the people in common must focus on community building and promoting of general wellbeing of the whole creation through sensitizing and enabling people at the grass-root.

Our main focus is on the consolidating family as the basic unit of the society in which mother and child, especially the girl child, are important members. Thus we particularly focus on special care of children and capacity building of women for being the central figure in family care.

There is a growing consciousness among the Christians that the Christian community must come out of its feeling of ‘Minoritism' and gain more self-confidence and become pro-active in its approach to enter the mainstream of the nation in order to become effective agents of change.

We endevour to re-discover the relevance of our faith and evaluate the significance of our Christian values and principles in the light of the present needs of the society around us, while reflecting on our lifestyle and work of our different ministerial wings and congregations. We commit ourselves to promotion of value-based education as integral part of our ministry that would provide opportunity for growth of effective leadership and overall integrated development of the larger society.

We commit ourselves to translating the message of liberation of Jesus Christ enumerated in the Nazareth manifesto, through words and deeds, into such idioms and terminology that becomes the imagery of the people of the soil, while we seek to rub off egotism both as 'self' and as 'Church' and trim down our limitations for effective communication of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses.
