(Philip Xavier Arul)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast experiences teach us that material guarantees alone cannot create an egalitarian society. In addition, and even prior to them, concrete and continuous efforts with strong policies are needed to foster relational equality - encompassing human dignity, social respect, and solidarity. Christianity can help achieve this, as it profoundly believes in the equality of all humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores why caste-based social divisions persist among Indian Christians, identifying three key causes of caste perpetuation. Furthermore, it argues theologically that promoting relational equality must precede distributive equality. Last but not least, it offers practicable pastoral steps to build an authentic relational Church rooted in God's Word. A valuable tool to help free individuals trapped by any form of \"-ism\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Tamil Nadu, South India, \u003ci\u003ePhilip Xavier Arul\u003c\/i\u003e - a Catholic priest for twenty-two years - is devoted to promoting relational equality within the Church in India.
