Sunday Catechism 4. – What is God?
India was “The Jewel in the Crown” of Empire .
The much – hoped conversion of Indians to Christianity may be deemed a failure .
This may be due to Missionary insistence upon the non – existence of the Hindus’ extensive pantheon of deities.
The Prophet Mohammed employed enviable subtlety when he told his prospective converts , ” Your gods are not dead , but only one God is worthy of worship “; so the Pagan – venerated Rock, Kaaba, remains a focal point of Muslim pilgrims’ praise to Allah.
There are over 25 million Christians in India – it’s the third largest religion – hardly a failure….I have seen lots of Indian Christians here in Australia/
Many of India’s Christians are pre – Colonial Mission types such as the ancient Syrian Church members .
Interestingly , Keralans are a relatively well – educated group and Christianity deserves some credit for this situation . There are also many Communist ex – Christians in Kerala thanks to Christian educative efforts in raising literacy rates.
The Lead pastor of our 6 campuses is from Scotland. Two weeks ago he mentioned The Illustrated Westminster Shorter Catechism in his sermon. So I ordered mine from Christianbook.com. My copy came last week. I can review each week, now.
