The news: Church leaders from across India gathered in Bengaluru for the first meeting of the National Federation of Catholic Indians (NFCI), with unity emerging as the central theme of the gathering. Leaders at the convention made strong calls for greater cooperation and solidarity among Christian communities in India, signalling a renewed push for inter-church collaboration at the national level.
Why it matters for church leaders: In a season when the church in India faces external pressures, a national-level federation calling for unity is a significant and timely development. Whether you lead a small local congregation or a large ministry network, movements like this shape the broader landscape in which Indian churches operate and advocate.
The takeaway: Consider how your church or ministry can actively participate in regional and national church networks — unity built at the top level starts with relationships built at the local level.
