If Christians lived according to their faith ....

Kirsten Powers (*1) recently posted an intriguing article titled God's Army on the online edition of American Prospect (*2).

She leads that article:

"Gandhi once said if Christians lived according to their faith, there would be no Hindus left in India. He knew how powerful the fundamental tenets of Christianity -- fighting poverty, caring for the least among us, loving your enemies, eschewing materialism and embracing humility -- could be if everyone who called themselves a Christian truly followed them."

From my point of view, first - blessings on the Hindus :-) - I am not here to start an us vs them controversy.

But what I like about this passage is the clear deliniation of the "fundamental tenets" - the root and the way that lies beneath all of the ways.
