Relevance of Thempu in Pastoral Ministry
The book, "Relevance of Thempu in Pastoral Ministry" investigates the concept of priesthood among the indigenous Thadou-Kuki tribe of India to understand and appreciate the rold of pastors in the society. In the indigenous Kuki society, the preist (Thempu) played an important role in connecting the human world and their ecology with the divine, thereby sustaining holistic peace and harmony. The cultic functions of the Thempu and the sacrifices he offered for various needs and occasions have affinity with the Catholic understanding of priesthood (priestly ministry).
