THEOLOGY OF MADATHILPARAMPIL MAMMEN THOMAS A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE TO THE SUCCESSION LAWS Aruna Gnanadason “It is essential to make a distinction between the social and religious practices of a community and the faith they process. Too often unjust social practices and religious rituals are given quai-divinelegitimazation. The scriptures too are interpreted to suit the designs of vested interests and power groups. Dr. M.M. Thomas a renowned Indian theologian cautions: “The word of God needs to be distinguished from human words, and faith from doctrines so that we can move on to more adequate human words and doctrines to express the word and the content of the faith.” 125
THEOLOGY OF MADATHILPARAMPIL MAMMEN THOMAS THE CHURCH IN THE WORLD By E. G. Homrighausen NEW ISSUES FOR THE WORLD COUNCIL “THE Central Committee of the World Council of Churches met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in January, 1971. It heard several provocative addresses and confronted several new issues. Meeting for the second time in Africa made members aware of the deeper theological realities and wider ecumenical dimensions of the ecumenical movement in our time. Dr. M. M. Thomas, Chairman of the Committee, delivered the keynote address. Instead of using the horizontal-vertical figure which was emphasized at the Uppsala Assembly, he suggested that a new figure from the field of geometry be used to describe the dimensions of the Council's nature and task: the center and the radii. He asked, "What is the central concern of the fellowship in thought, life, and activities of the World Council? Do the many aspects of the life of the Council radiate from and express this central concern? If so, how? Do some activities of the Council give undue importance to things that are marginal?" 126
