The teaching we should follow
|
|
The vast majority of Filipinos are Christians. But most of them are,
like most of the Christians India’s revered “Father of the
Nation” Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had met, “so unlike
Christ.”
Mahatma Gandhi read the Bible attentively. He
was particularly impressed with the Sermon on the Mount and often
recommended it to his audiences. Asked by a Christian missionary why
he often quoted the words of Jesus Christ and yet had not become a
Christian, Mahatma Gandhi replied: “Oh, I don’t reject Christ. I
love Christ. It’s just that so many of you Christians are so
unlike Christ.” He added, “If Christians would really live
according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of
India would be Christian today.”

Truly Filipino
|
|
Tucked away in the serene mountains of the north is an ancient
civilization—perhaps the country’s first architects and
engineers and who Akbayan Rep. Rissa Hontiveros says are perhaps
contemporary Philippine’s few remaining pure Filipinos.
