| Missionary to India, born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He went to India as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1907, and later became an itinerant evangelist, declining a bishopric in 1928. Concerned equally for social justice and spirituality, he supported Indian aspirations for independence, and was sensitive to Indian religious traditions. He founded two Christian ashrams, one at Sat Tal and the other in Lucknow (where he also founded a psychiatric centre). He wrote nearly 30 books, most notably The Christ of the Indian Road (1925). |
