BOOKS

The book, Pathways to Fraternity, edited by Salesian Fathers Jesu Pudumai Doss, Sahayadas Fernando, Maria Charles Antonysamy attempts to offer reflections to the educators and mentors of the young, so that they are able to help the young in today’s India to gauge the real situation in India, such as the personal, ecclesial, social, cultural, political circumstances that foster or hinder fraternity. Based on the inspirations from the Encyclical Letter of Pope Francis, the different papers in this book aim at presenting concrete Pathways to Fraternity, so that the guides and mentors of the young are able to effectively educate the young in the light of ‘Fratelli Tutti’!

The nineteen articles in this book, which present a multifaceted view of the “Pathways to Fraternity”, could well be grouped into four broad categories. The first group of 8 articles delves into some general challenges, such as in the philosophical, moral, religious, social, legal, economic and ecological spheres, of educating the Indian youth towards fraternity. The second group of 5 articles presents various educational methodologies and processes to enable fraternity, with a special focus on the pedagogical, intercultural, psychological and catechetical approaches. The third part includes the 2 articles that discuss specialcategories of people, such as migrants and women. In the last part, one may include the 4 best practices that one gathers from lived experiences of the NGOs, especially in their work with youth-at-risk and refugees.
