The 6th Provincial Chapter of
the Salesian Province of New Delhi concluded on 8th February evening,
charting a radical new course for members as ‘Mystics in the Spirit,’ ‘Prophets of
Fraternity,’ and ‘Servants of the Young.’
The Chapter members resolved to deepen the
experience of God and to witness to the primacy of God radically in the way
members live, relate and minister.
They resolved to give greater
emphasis on deepening and giving witness to communion in community through
greater self-disclosure about personal vulnerabilities and struggles, making
efforts to heal from hurts that often are at the root of dysfunctional
behaviours in community and counter-witnessing in ministry.
Members are challenged to make a radical change in
mindset and practice in youth ministry by becoming ‘Servants’ of the young in
addition to the traditional ‘father, teacher, and friend” identity.
The Chapter elected Jose Parappully, Director of Sumedha Centre, as
the Delegate to represent the Province at
the General Chapter to be held in Rome from 12 February to April 22, 2014.
