Ecumenical Christian Centre (ECC)
Whitefield, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
<http://www.eccbangalore.org/>

The Ecumenical Christian Centre (ECC) engages people in community activities, irrespective of caste, creed, geography or race, so that peaceful, harmonious and sustainable communities can evolve. It seeks to empower the next generation of leaders with ideas, strategies and styles so that positive socialization and planetization can be achieved, thus avoiding the drawbacks of market forces, technology, and steam-rolling globalization. It encourages participative give-and-take in dialoguing communities, where younger generations have more roles to play in evolving adaptable ways that share resources and know-how. It provides a chance to grow together as a world community through mutual awareness. ​

The ECC has an auditorium where more than 300 people can be accommodated as well as 30 houses for 200 people in a salubrious ecological paradise of 30 acres, filled with plants, trees, birds, domesticated animals, and other brethren of the Earth. This haven is maintained by 70 staff members from all around India. The IT hub of Bangalore is a stone’s throw away, along with many educational institutions and social-networking groups.
​

 The ECC seeks to involve interns in special projects. This could involve the following activities:

•  Setting up workshops on the theme of the ECC’s educational focus of STAR (Science, Technology, Art and Religion).

•  Community outreach in the Bengaluru area and throughout Asia.

•  Setting up training programs in leadership management for business expatriates in Bangalore – from the USA, UK and around India and South Asia.

•  Interfaith dialogue and spiritual communities. These includes Tibetan Buddhists, Hindu communities, Art of Living, Protestant, Catholic, Secular Humanists, and others.

•  Ecological regeneration, sustaining ecological balance in the neighbourhood and interacting with neighbourhood communities.

•  Evolving and expressing practical philosophies from the lived experiences of people and creating psychological skills and strategies for eliminating fear, anxiety, and other illnesses.
​

​•  Expressive arts.
