Inter-religious harmony is a much felt need of our times, especially in the context of growing religious fundamentalism. Genuine seekers in all religions can certainly contribute to this harmony, provided they are supported by systematic study and research. In order to consolidate the theological formation of Christian religious persons in India, it is important to provide opportunities to study the specific identity and mission of religious life in relation to other vocations and forms of Christian life in the Church and world. This theological formation needs to be contextualized and imparted, particularly on the basis of biblical theology and the Magisterium of the Church in general, and of FABC, CBCI, CRI and the local churches of India in particular. The postgraduate program in Theology of Religious Life would promote and form the religious men and women with a profound understanding of their identity and mission in the Church, contextually and inter-religiously. Conscious that the Church is in constant dialogue with the culture, this program provides a milieu of reflection on ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue, especially with the forms of radical living of religion in these traditions.

It is desirable that every students continues to work under an artist/group in one art form or the other outside curriculum, towards long term development.

CHRIST (Deemed to be University), a premier educational institution, is an academic fraternity of individuals dedicated to the motto of 'EXCELLENCE AND SERVICE.'
We strive to reach out to the star of perfection through an earnest academic pursuit for 'excellence,' and our efforts blossom into 'service' through our creative and empathetic involvement in the society to transform it.
Education prepares one to face the challenges of life by bringing out the best in him/her. If this is well accepted, education should be relevant to the needs of the time and address the problems of the day. Being inspired by Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, the founder of Carmelites of Mary Immaculate and the pioneer in innovative education, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) was proactive to define and redefine its mission and strategies reading the signs of the time.
