The Association of Christian Philosophers of India (ACPI) was founded in 1976 in Aluva, Kerala, India, inspired by Dr Richard De Smet, SJ, and initiated by Dr Albert Nambiaparambil, CMI.
[1] The chief activity is the annual meeting, held at different places in India, with a topic chosen a year in advance and papers presented largely by the members.
Eventually, the decision was made to hold meetings independently of the IPC.
A recent major activity was the publication of the ACPI Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
In 2010, the association published the ACPI Encyclopedia of Philosophy, eds Johnson J. Puthenpurackal and George Panthanmackel.
