My Thoughts on the Last Class...

What stood out to me the most during the lecture was the 16th century, Robert de Nobili, a Catholic missionary, who incorporated the Hindu religion with Christianity. He mixed some Hindu practices with his Christianity while in India and reached the high cast in that society. He found the cultural practices of Hinduism a commonality and an avenue to reach those in India with the Gospel.This was not accepted my the Catholic Church and they booted him out. I think it is important to find what we have in common first when reaching others and incorporating ones culture and some forms of their religion is not necessarily wrong or a salvation issue.
