With many years spent in theological and neo-literate education, she also worked as a freelance columnist, book reviewer and special correspondent for several newspapers in India.
In the 1990s, in a joint project between the Protestants and Roman Catholics, she co-edited a chronologically arranged, condensed version of the Old Testament using the text of the Jerusalem Bible1 with the late Sister Genevieve de Cordove2. The publication was for students in Indian schools.
In 2019, she assisted and contributed to the publication of a book on holy people from outside Europe and the western world, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns (CMEAC) of the Church of England3.
A.H. Avenue Number Three is Varghese’s first work of fiction. The different cultural, ethnic, political, religious and social backgrounds described in this novel are known to her firsthand.
