The Christian Sensitivity in National Integration

Abstract

National integration has been the theme of Seminars and Study Groups, Cultural Organisations and Government Committees for over 25 years. There is no difference of opinion on its need. All are aware of the dissensions that exist at economic, political, social and religious levels that seem to be constantly pushing the country towards disintegration. I need not here make an elaborate analysis of these well-known factors. I would, however, like to emphasize that these factors are very closely inter-related. What may seem outwardly to be a political. problem has economic, social and even religious roots. But among these factors, religion seems to be the deepest and most difficult to handle, operating as it does on emotional, sometimes unconscious, levels of motivation and attitudes.
