OUR RATIONALE
SAIACS was founded because of three main concerns :
1. The Christian migration to the West: A large number of Indian students
go to the UK and USA for higher theological education. Over 75% of those
who go West do not return to India. This means that the Indian church
loses some of its most competent human resources.
2. Better financial stewardship: Presently, the cost per year of sending a
single student from India to England is more than £12,000 (Rs. 9,50,000).
Sending someone to the USA costs US $25,000 (Rs. 12,00,000) or more per year.
By comparison, in India, to accomplish the same purpose costs only about US$
2,500 or about Rs 1,20,000 (all inclusive) on average per year for one person.
The SAIACS option is wise financial stewardship.
3. Contextual study: theological institutions in the West focus on issues and approaches relevant to their context, whereas the concerns of the churches in the Indian sub-continent and their leaders are vastly different. SAIACS is situated within the Asian context and provides an understanding of the unique challenges facing the Christians of this region.
