Extemely helpful and relavant to all those who are burdened for the gosple in a pluralist society. Some of the points mentioned under "impact" and "missions" are realistic. In to-day's world there is greater awareness about one's own religion, and society is fast becoming pluralistic everywhere. One of India's most distinguished scholar, pastor and thelogian was Bishop AJ Appasamy. Way back in 1932, in one of his lectures, which was later pulished, titled "sharing our faith with Hindus", mentioned: "Sharing one's faith with another means, in the first place, that we are prepared to receive and understand and learn. The idea that we have nothing to learn from others is always unfortunate." Your article had pointed out this underlying principles aptly. I appreciate. Rev. J.
