If the world had a finite reality as its goal, then it has only a limited possibility of growth. But when the world has the Infinite God as its goal,… - Kurien Kunnumpuram

The Church of God becomes concrete and visible only in a community of people who have experienced the presence of God and responded to his saving activity.

I wish to adopt a holistic approach to the mission of the Church. To my mind the mission of the Church is to collaborate with God in God’s work for the wholeness of the human person, the human community and the cosmos according to the pattern revealed in Jesus Christ (Kunnumpuram 2011)

All this calls for an attitudinal change in the Church. An inward looking Church gives undue importance to rite and rubrics, orthodoxy and discipline. But God-ward looking Church is concerned with the great human problem of living together in freedom and equality, love, justice and peace as well as in tune with the rhythm of nature. For the world, not the Church, is the primary object of God’s love.
