Excellent- More about Invitation and Belonging in a Christian Ashram: Building Interreligious Community in Northern India
This book explores how some Christian missionaries have sought to inflect Christianity with Advaita Vedantic undertones in Indian contexts, and how the Sat Tal Christian Ashram (STA) draws upon and differs from existing practices of inculturation. It offers new ethnographic data on Indian Christianity, Christian missiology, and Hindu-Christian relations, and contributes to emergent discussions of multiple religious orientation, existential belonging, and the negotiation that occurs as individuals and communities seek to invite or belong alongside individuals whose proclaimed faiths are different than their own.

This book, based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork spanning 10 months, offers a comprehensive social history of Sat Tal Christian Ashram (STA), situated in the picturesque Kumaon foothills of northern India. It delves into the fascinating journey of certain Christian missionaries who have sought to infuse Christianity with Advaita Vedantic undertones in various Indian contexts. The book then proceeds to analyze how STA, while drawing upon and differing from existing practices of inculturation, uniquely manifests these influences. By highlighting the distinctive features of STA, this book provides valuable new ethnographic data on the topics of Indian Christianity, Christian missiology, and Hindu-Christian relations. Moreover, it contributes to ongoing discussions about multiple religious orientations, existential belonging, and the complex negotiations that arise when individuals and communities seek to invite or belong alongside individuals whose proclaimed faiths differ from their own. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book is suitable for undergraduate students as well as offering specialists fresh qualitative data and insightful theoretical reflections.
