In this Cover Story, Dr. Kochurani Abraham delves into Felix Wilfred’s bold vision of Her—the Divine who unsettles, disrupts, and journeys with the marginalized. A compelling read on a thinker who never settled for easy answers.
The passing away of Felix Wilfred at a most unexpected moment raised many unsettling questions: How could this happen so suddenly when he seemed to be enjoying robust health? Why did he go so soon when he could have contributed so much more to liberative theology from Asia? What can we do to make sense of this mystery of life and death, which are so deeply entwined beneath the surface and could manifest at any moment?
To many who are activists or researchers, it could be very disconcerting that the strong prophetic voice of Felix that challenged them constantly – to push the boundaries of theological knowledge making by listening to particular contexts – has stopped all of a sudden. And still unsettling is the vacuum left by his absence to many for whom Felix Wilfred was a guide, a mentor, a colleague and a friend, as it has left a void that cannot be easily filled.
