QUESTION: What is your Christmas wish?

ANSWER: My Christmas wish is of one of the synodal way, to reach out to one and all without consideration of creed, caste or colour, seeing the whole of humanity as one community. There must be a wider participation and communion of all based on the human rights of all. This dialogical way should happen both within and out of the Church. The Church must reach out to all. Within the Church, we should look for greater participation of laity for the transformation of it. For any problem that may crop up we should have the grassroots level talks and consultations. This talking is what I consider the Christmas way.
