Bible Bhavan Christian Fellowship
Engaging the Academia is an initiative of BBCF, with the aim of providing a platform for the university community, specifically teaching faculties and research scholars, to find an interface between faith and their academic engagement.
We believe that the Lord is unrestricted from all areas of life and thought including the University and what it stands for. The imagined existence of binaries such as the sacred and secular worlds, will result in compartmentalisation of church life and our intellectual commitment in the university, ultimately leading to a dual or even self-contradicting existence.
We propose to facilitate the community with biblical and theological resources that would help them, through collective learning, to explore what the Lordship of Jesus Christ actually means in different disciplines that are taught in the academic departments and research projects in the university.
Very significantly, we also aim to traverse how to speak and engage Christian-ly in the issues that occupy university life (from violent students’ protest to debates on the role of the university etc.)
