From the time of its inception in the early Seventies TRACI has been engaged in fostering reflection on contemporary issues with a theological perspective. Various publications including books, journals and papers have been published intermittently. Christian Mind Series was a monthly journal that was published for many years and carried articles with a biblical perspective on the issues pertaining to church and society. In the recent past, TRACI has been organizing a monthly Reflection group meeting in which a specific topic is chosen and a person who has some association or expertise in that particular area is invited to present a paper which is followed by a discussion on the practical application and possible responses to the concerns highlighted in the paper. The following articles are issues of recent writing and therefore address contemporary issues of our times.
