Excerpt from The Indian Evangelical Review, 1879, Vol. 6: A Quarterly Journal of Missionary Thought and Effort Although Goa abounded in priests and monks, with a bishop at their head, it was not until the year 1542, when Francis Xavier arrived, that the Church made any apparent impression among the heathen. In 1540 the King of Portugal having made up his mind to establish the Church in India, Xavier was recommended to him and accepted for the accomplishment of that object. On the 6th of May, 1542, Xavier arrived at Goa, presented his credentials to the Bishop (from whom he received a promise of support), and shut himself up in one of the churches to spend his first night in prayer. By devoting his first efforts to the Portuguese he effected a general improvement in their conduct. Then he took hold of a seminary which had recently been established for the education of native heathen youths, and in which were gathered from all the adjacent countries students speaking nine or ten different languages. This institution he placed on a better basis, named it the College of St. Paul and had it transferred to the Society of Jesus, thus making It more efficient for the conversion of the heathen. A third object Of his care were the orphans and des titute converts. It seems that the King of Portugal had been dissatisfied with the slow progress of Christianity, and had sent out an ecclesiastic to investigate the cause. It was found that the monks cared little for their scholars and converts, did nothing for the temporal wants of those who were thrust out by their friends at conversion, and neglected the orphan children of the deceased poor among the Christians. Xavier immediately se cured from the Christians in Goa the means of establishing a seminary for such children this was afterwards endowed and enlarged. He also organized relief for the poor. Having thus established a good basis for future operations, and also having prepared himself by seeking information from the many natives who flocked to Goa from all parts of India concerning the various languages, customs, and forms of religion of the country, Xavier in October, 1542, set out for the interior by way of the southern coast.

Drawing together international and Indian sources, and new research on the ground in South India, this book presents a unique examination of the inculturation of Christian Worship in India. Paul M. Collins examines the imperatives underlying the processes of inculturation - the dynamic relationship between the Christian message and cultures - and then explores the outcomes of those processes in terms of architecture, liturgy and ritual, and the critique offered of these outcomes, especially by Dalit theologians. This book highlights how the Indian context has informed global discussions, and how the decisions of the World Council of Churches, Vatican II and Lambeth Conferences have impacted upon the Indian context.

In late 20th-century India, Christian-Hindu dialogue was forever transformed following the opening of Shantivanam, the first Christian ashram in the country. Mario I. Aguilar brings together the histories of the five pioneers of Christian-Hindu dialogue and their involvement with the ashram, to explore what they learnt and taught about communion between the two religions, and the wide ranging consequences of their work. The author expertly threads together the lives and friendships between these men, while uncovering the Hindu texts they used and were influenced by, and considers how far some of them became, in their personal practice, Hindu. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the impact of this history on contemporary dialogue between Christians and Hindus, and how both faiths can continue to learn and grow together.

In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism, cultural commentary, and memoir to take us “inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can” (Gloria Steinem) and reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity’s views on female sexuality has had on a generation of young women. In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls—resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—and trapped them in a cycle of shame. This is the sex education Linda Kay Klein grew up with. Fearing being marked a Jezebel, Klein broke up with her high school boyfriend because she thought God told her to and took pregnancy tests despite being a virgin, terrified that any sexual activity would be punished with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. When the youth pastor of her church was convicted of sexual enticement of a twelve-year-old girl, Klein began to question purity-based sexual ethics. She contacted young women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same shame-induced issues she was. These intimate conversations developed into a twelve-year quest that took her across the country and into the lives of women raised in similar religious communities—a journey that facilitated her own healing and led her to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. Pure is “a revelation... Part memoir and part journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally true account" (The Cut) of society’s larger subjugation of women and the role the purity industry played in maintaining it. Offering a prevailing message of resounding hope and encouragement, “Pure emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath of freedom” (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising).
