Vision & Mission

Guiding principles that shape the theological work of the Indian Theological Association.

Our Vision

To be the premier body of theological scholarship in India, nurturing a living tradition of Christian theology that is authentically rooted in the Indian soil, enriched by interreligious wisdom, committed to the liberation of the marginalized, and oriented toward the flourishing of all creation.

The Indian Theological Association envisions a future where Indian Christian theology is recognized worldwide as a vital and creative tradition in its own right, one that draws strength from the encounter between the Gospel and the rich cultural, philosophical, and spiritual heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
