Religion and society - the challenges of contemporaniety

Resumo

The present paper is an effort to examine the curriculum being applied and imparted to the pastors of mainline churches and to investigate whether their capacities are being built to face such challenges and to bring in a change within the society as part of their role in the church. The present scenario of Indian society reminds an ageold short story of dilemma of four persons; everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. The government, the nongovernmental organisations, the church and the society seems to have been continuing in the dilemma affecting the common mans interest.
