We had two days of meaningful theological reflection and spiritual enrichment under the guidance of The Rt. Rev. Dr. V. Devasahayam, Bishop Emeritus, CSI Madras Diocese. The first session focused on features of Christian Discipleship. On the second day, the Bishop drew a powerful comparison between Nebuchadnezzar’s giant statue in the Book of Daniel and contemporary expressions of power in India, examining authoritarian power, resistance against oppressive structures, and God’s liberating glory that releases people from bondage. The third session challenged us to reflect on how democracy is endangered in our contemporary society. The retreat concluded with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, led by Bishop Devasahayam along with our M.Th. students. Two days of learning, renew of commitment, worship and fellowship, challenging us to resist oppression and become instruments of God’s peace.
