Christ in the Indian villages

The Mass Movement of India has been one of the most significant developments in the worldwide expansion of Christianity over the last half-century. The movement is concerned with the untouchables, who are excluded from the caste social organization and live under extreme poverty and squalor. Through the Mass Movement, the economic, social, and educational level of these depressed people has been lifted, and many villages have been transformed. The movement has also led to the conversion of thousands of caste people to Christianity. However, the undermanned state of Christian forces has led to lapses in religious instruction, which is recognized by the leaders of the movement and missionary societies. To conserve and strengthen the movement, a comprehensive survey and evaluation are being made. The booklet “Christ in the Indian Villages,” authored by Bishop Whitehead and Bishop Azariah, presents a concise and dynamic treatise on the reality and power of the Christian Gospel in the context of the Mass Movement.
