Does This Preacher Have An Answer?
Sundrabai, the woman who advised Rama to accept Christ, rushes to tell Rama the news. An evangelist is in Pune. Sundrabai begs Rama to come hear him. Maybe she'll receive the Holy Ghost. Rama is skeptical and perhaps unsettled. One day Sundrabai tells her to receive Christ; the next, it's the Holy Ghost. But Rama agrees to go to the Methodist mission. Her initial impression isn't positive, but she waits with the others. Does this preacher have an answer to Rama's spiritual dilemma, or is it time wasted? When she meets him, Rev. Pentecost tells her to stop trusting Unitarians and attend his lectures. What kind of advice is that?
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
He’s a wonderful preacher, filled with the spirit. Come with me and meet him. Who knows? Perhaps if you listen to him, you’ll receive the Holy Ghost.”
Rama thought that highly unlikely, but the next afternoon she went to the mission with Sundrabai. Rama didn’t understand why missionaries didn’t plant more trees. Dust swirled around the courtyard and onto the veranda. The missionaries kept their shoes on and tracked the dust inside. Rama thought it was unhygienic.
The reception was large with most of the foreign Christian community present. Rama let Sundrabai introduce her to people she hadn’t met. Everyone exchanged pleasantries while they waited for the guest of honor.
