One of Mahatma Gandhi’s more famous quotes was supposedly spoken to a group of British journalists as they rode on a train through English-held India. He was asked, “Why is it that you speak so highly of Jesus yet you are not a Christian?” He quickly responded, “I would become a Christian… if I could just find one…” Since reading those words a couple of decades ago, I have been haunted by the cutting truth behind the observant eye of this Hindu world changer... If you stop to think about it, it’s a pretty audacious thing to call oneself a “Christian” in light of the literal meaning of the term... I wonder if I have ever met a bona fide Christian in all of my thirty-plus years of seeking to follow Jesus. To say that this is disappointing doesn’t begin to capture my feelings about this generation of the Church.
