Claiming the Right to Say No xi) It is not enough that the church works for the religious welfare of the tourist community, for there is a great need to monitor all the antisocial activities like drug marketing, paedophilia, sex tourism, etc, taking place in the parish community. xii) Conclusion Parishes, especially those in the places of tourist’s importance, should keep the information regarding parish services updated and has to ensure that this information is readily available at hotels, guest houses, information point or even a sign board outside the church could be a great help. Theologizing that is responsive to the challenges of the context must take the concern of the people seriously. Abuses of the natural resources, growing disrespect to women and children, and erosion of the values on account of tourism, challenge the theologians and the Church in Goa, to commit themselves to visualize the shape of the Church that is relevant to the context and situation of the people. The Church has to make her faith more alive, dynamic and challenging by encountering the reality of tourism, while at the same time remaining faithful to her living tradition and mission. Theologizing is the mystical experience and praxis-oriented prophetic commitment to reveal God’s presence in our daily situation. Thus, in the context of tourism, our seacoast, fields, rich cultural heritage, and hills act as a place for a relevant theology of tourism. The Church cannot remain silent or neutral in the face of dehumanising impacts, rather prophetically challenge the situation. Our response to the reality of tourism from the Christian perspective made us more aware of the mission of the Church. However, the work needs to be carried on by joining hands with all those who are committed to the state of Goa. 82
