“Theological Studies on Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara” A meeting of the authors and collaborators of the proposed series of books on “Theological Studies on Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara” was held at CMI Prior General’s House, Chavara Hills, under the auspices of Chavara Central Secretariat (a joint venture of CMI and CMC), during 9-10 December 2017. 45 CMI Fathers and CMC Sisters came together to present their respective projects and to discuss and review them. Fr. Paul Achandy CMI, Prior General, and Mother Sibi CMC, Superior General, joined the deliberations and contributed into the discussions with the Inaugural Address and Concluding Address, respectively. Fr. Joseph Pathrapankal CMI offered the Keynote Address on “The Prophetic Ministry of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara in the Society during the 19th Century” and Fr. Benny Thettayil CMI, editor-in-chief of Herald of the East (Dharmaram Journal of Chavara Studies), offered a session on “Orientations in Theological Research on Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara.” Of the total forty-five projects already proposed, plans of thirty projects were presented during these two days’ workshop. These project presentations enabled the participants to clarify their positions, enhance the overall plan, and to understand the perspectives adopted by other authors; thus, the whole workshop was mutually beneficial. As the scope of the “Theological Publications on Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara” was better clarified, if anyone other than the current group of authors wants to join this project to cover areas that have not yet been considered, they are invited to contact the general editor of the series Fr. Saju Chackalackal CMI. Periodic meetings of the authors will be held in the coming months to offer them technical support and to promote the completion of the projects as per the schedule.
