We Had a Higher Goal
Rama is in Boston to raise funds for her school. The 10-year Ramabai Association subscriptions are about to expire. She needs people to re-commit and is ready to speak to an assembly, but Rev. Donald needs to speak to her first. Rama can't believe what she hears. Rev. Donald says Rama is too bold. That the school is to educate Hindu widows, not convert them. Rama is shocked. Will he withdraw his support of the school? And if he does, will she be able to raise funds? Is this an opportunity or a disaster?
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“I thought it best to speak to you privately before giving my remarks. There are serious issues before us, Pandita. I didn’t want you to be surprised.”
“You should have called at the house.” Judith pointedly pulled back a chair and sat down. “Shall we sit?”
Rama felt her feet dangle as they had before the Hunter Commission all those years ago.
“Pandita, too many of your students have become Christians.”
Rama’s mouth dropped open.
“The Ramabai Association didn’t sponsor a Christian school recruiting converts. We had a higher goal.”
“You’re a minister. What could be more important than bringing students to Christ?”
