Transparency and accountability are necessary while addressing crises in the church, stressed the Association of Moral Theologians of India (AMTI) in its latest meeting.

The recent crisis in the Church, especially due to the abuse scandal, according to many is the biggest in the history of the Church. Some others would say that it should be considered at least as the biggest crisis since Reformation. Although it began as an issue in the Western countries, it is becoming clear that no part of the world is immune to this crisis, said Father Shaji George Kochuthara, president of AMTI.
