INCULTURATION OF THE SEMINARY TRAINING: AN ACTION PLAN

.

Abstract

My presentation here is an action plan of the programmes of "inculturation" in the _seminary tranung long contemplated after the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council and to some extent carried out in a number of Indian Seminaries. The concept of lnculturation may need more clarification in this regard. Inculturation in the Christian vision of formation of the seminarians for he proclamation of the Gospel message is a dynamic process of growing oneself in the cultural milieu of the people and learning to communicate the Good News of the "Project of the Kingdom of God" in the cultural symbolic structures of the people or whom one is a missionary. Inculturation of the seminary programme has many facets, such as living in the culture of a people, sharing their life-style and learning to live with the struggles of life of the people in view of helping them to solve their human problems with Christian ways
and means.
