Oxford Centre for Religion and Public Life (OCRPL)

Two representatives from the Oxford Centre for Religion and Public Life (OCRPL) visited our college on Friday, 26th July 2024. Both are our alumni - Dr. Bobby Thejus (who did PhD under Dr. Joshua Kalapati, Dept of Philosophy, Retd.) who later studied in St. Andrews, Scotland, and Rev Sam Thambusamy, who did Physics and went to Gurukul and Edinburgh. 

As part of their visit to various theological institutions in India, exploring possibilities of collaboration, we had a pre-arrival meeting on Zoom at 8 pm on 25th July 2024.


On 26th July, at 10 am, they met with the Dean of International Programmes Dr. Rufus, Rev. Ross, Dr. Joshua Kalapati and Prof. Arun Kumar Joseph. Possibilities for collaboration between IACS and OCRPL were discussed. 

Later, around 11.30 am, they met with our Principal Dr. Paul Wilson in his chamber.

This was followed by a fellowship lunch hosted by our Principal, in which Dr. Hepzhibah Israel, University of Edinburgh also participated along with her husband.
