Episode 24: Love in Action: Archbishop Joseph D’souza Mission for Justice and Freedom, Pt. 2

Summary:

What does true Christian community look like in a world divided by caste and class? Pastor Derwin’s powerful conversation with Bishop Joseph reveals how the Gospel confronts systemic injustice in India’s churches, where separate communion cups and graveyards still divide believers by caste. Through poignant stories of transformation among India’s most marginalized people, Bishop Joseph shares how authentic Christian love dismantles barriers and unleashes the Holy Spirit’s power. His vision of “a billion Christian communities” where people belong before they believe offers hope for healing our fractured world.
