I heard Reverend Richard Howell, Chairman of the Evangelical Fellowship of India talking on The World Today about the sentencing to death of Dara Singh in India for the Murder of Graham Staines and his two sons. I thought a couple of the things he said were worth quoting:
“Christians have a right, like any other community, to spread the message of Jesus Christ, which is a message of love and forgiveness, of reconciliation. Now to spread that message is not converting people.”
“I think if it is being talked about, like of cultural nationalism, one nation, one culture, one people, we would not subscribe to it because then culture has been mixed with religion, nationalism is mixed with religion. We cannot subscribe to ideology that mixes nationalism with religion. My commitment to nation, my love for nation should not be judged by my religion.”
