Religious Communities of and for the Kingdom of God: George M. Soares-Prabhu's Vision of Priesthood and Religious life

George M. Soares-Prabhu’s Christological Vision becomes the motivation for the Priests and Religious in India to be the true witnesses of the Gospel of Christ. The central theme of Jesus’ ministry is the Kingdom of God which is based on His Abba Experience. This same experience calls for the Indian Church in general and the Priests and Religious in particular to be the Prophetic Communities of and for the Kingdom of God, that radiate the light of Christ to India to build a Nation based on Freedom, Fellowship, Justice. Imbibing the Liberative Pedagogy of Jesus, the mission of Christ can be carried out in the context of the divided nation by being the ‘Contrast Community’ and thereby bring about the Kingdom of God that Jesus envisaged.
