Aristo Changing the subject a little, perhaps you can throw some light on Christian evangelism in India today to which I am totally opposed. Why on earth should any religious group try to evangelise any other group anywhere, even though it is rampant in the USA as a means towards substantial money-making for some.
In Margao very recently, in the Municipal Gardens, I accidentally came across evangelism at full steam on Easter Day. The chief speaker said to me in all sincerity that, it was important that people who had not heard the word of the Lord (i.e. Christ) should be given the opportunity to do so. Indeed, the evangelism I witnessed first hand, and to my surprise, after substantial resistance from some Hindu groups in India, was pretty 'forceful' to a group of about 30 persons, mainly Hindu and Muslim. The lead evangelist with whom I had a good chance to discuss the matter at the end of the session, was utterly convinced about the importance of the task he was undertaking with a small group of helpers doing the preaching, and religious singing with guitars, drums, electric organ etc. Cornel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aristo" > It looks like the author was only recently Enlightened that Fundamentalism > applies to Christians also.
