    India Christians 2000 year witness


    http://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=200417&cat=India

    Christianity came to India much before it went to the West, perhaps a reason why India's 25 million Christians prefer to be catholic in faith, oriental in worship and Indian in culture.

    According to a 2003 report of Directory of Catholic Health Facilities in India, the Catholic church itself has 764 hospitals, 2,975 dispensaries and health centres and 115 medical training centers throughout the country.

    There are eight Christian community-run medical colleges apart from 600 Catholic nuns trained as medical doctors serving in rural areas of the country.

    25 million! And I was a bit dismayed at the kooky mormons with 6 million in USA.


    With 25 million, I guess the Gospel just about HAS been preached to the whole world after all.
