Summary: | Christianity in India is as old as Christianity itself. The first seeds of faith seem to have been sowed by no less a person than one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ himself. And the faith has been growing so indigenously that it was integrated with the over-all culture of the place. However later, modern missionary enterprises, dating from the advent of the Portuguese at the commencement of the 16th century, planted a Christianity which was completely western in style. This plant has not taken deep roots in the soil. Yet, it has been instrumental in bringing about a transformation of the native religions of the country. Now during the fourty years period of the Independent India a new form of Christianity has been emerging which is "fully Indian and authentically Christian". |
