"Henry Vivian Derozio" Theology, Apologetics & Ethics Conversation & Culture Center ("HVDC")

On the Bishop's College premises, we should set up the "Henry Vivian Derozio" Theology, Apologetics and Ethics Conversation & Culture Center.  It should be (?) open to all persons who are interested to learn, or engage in conversations about Theology, Apologetics and Ethics.  This Center would be manned (in shifts) by invitees -- Bishop's College students, faculty and others (such as Christian ministers and scholars who are interested). 

To make it more attractive, particularly to outsiders, it should be set up in a quasi-café (not 'student canteen') setting, vaguely reminiscent of an university 'Coffee House', selling inexpensive beverages and snacks. 

On Wednesday nights, an evening of Christian Fellowship would be held, along with a Bible Study, open to the public. 

Once a month, a Debate would be scheduled, on a topic to be curated and moderated by the Principal, open to the public.  Topics will not be limited to “Christian” topics, but extend to all faiths and belief systems, span ideas and challenges facing society today and be intellectually stimulating.  Authors, thinkers, actors, and other opinion-makers will be invited to attend.

If warranted, on alternate months, or on some occasions, the debate could be substituted with a Christian-themed 'Dinner Theatre' performance at the HVDC. 

During the Lenten season, the students will perform a “Passion Play”, open to the public, with tickets, followed by an Indian Christian Cuisine Banquet and/or an open-air Spit Roast & Barbeque. 

During the Pujas season, the students will make a presentation on “Christianity in India”, open to the public, with tickets, followed by an Indian Christian Cuisine Banquet and/or an open-air Spit Roast & Barbeque. 

During the Christmas season, the annual Christian Music Concert will be held, as is ongoing, with tickets, preceded or followed by an Indian Christian Cuisine Banquet and/or an open-air Spit Roast & Barbeque. 
A Rose, by any other name . . . . would smell as sweet!
