gandhi, more than any other figure, but really more precisely, the idea of gandhi -- be constructed idea of gandhi -- as a universal saint demanded of american religious liberals a radical rethinking of the relationship of christianity to the west and racial ankle on the orders. a key figure here is stanley jones. methodist missionary and author of the best-selling book -- jones, along with a handful of others, served as the most influential interpreter of gandhi for the north american protestant audience. as the most famous missionary, and one of the most admired man in the united states, joneses framing of gandhi carried significant weight, and entered a political climate ripe for recalibration. he was an acquaintance and in mire of gandhi for decades, and was, in fact, scheduled to meet with gandhi and the day he was assassinated. jones penned him in 1938 is a tribute to fallen hero. in this work, he portrayed gandhi as a hero -- through his methods and spirit, they were in large measure reconciled. perhaps a bit optimistic there. since the 19th century, as i've said, liberal protesta

but jones, who knew gandhi and loved it gandhi, was unable to let this be the last word especially in the wake of his assassination. so, he made him into a man of spirit and the eternal, rather than a man of time and place in history. he became, in other words, a liberal protestant saint. the phrases jones used to bridge this gap are remarkable. he was a natural quick -- christian rather than orthodox one, jones wrote. the distinction between a natural christian and an orthodox one reveals the manner in which he as defined by jones, define the essence. he reached the higher plain of natural faith -- unbounded universal. the men who fought christian simulations so-called furthered , the real thing, jones proclaimed. god uses many instruments and he has used mahatma gandhi to help christianize unchristianed christianity. conservative mainline evangelical -- jones for embracing hindu is a religious freedom. a prominent baptist teacher circa lysed a pamphlet describing jones's admiration of gandhi -- this is what stanley jones believes was the pamphlets title, and for the additional tagli

almost 50 years ladder, gandhi used the salt tax for revolution.lead a 24 day march to the sea, and when he got to the sea, he defiantly made salt. through freaking out the british empire. and indians everywhere used this as a starting gun, but also to disobey british rule in that first month, what started as gandhi and 80 other marchers ended up with 80,000 people being arrested. police attacking people, the movement for indian independence being dramatized to the world, and for the british public back at home that meant police, thousands of miles away were beaten for boiling seawater to get salt. you can't say they weren't warned. check this out. before he started the salt march, he wrote to the british ruler of india and said he didn't really want to do this thing, but he felt like held might have to. dear friend, before embarking on the risk i have dreaded to take all of these years, i would again approach you to find a way out in this letter he makes his case for what is wrong with british rule in india. he said the conviction is going deeper

john lewis was a devotee of mahatma gandhi and his principles principles of nonviolence.en it got firebombed because he was interviewing for a fellowship to go to india to follow in gaungndhi's foot psteps. after the freedom riders were greeted with such violence and so many were hurt so badly and calls to call off the freedom rides john lewis was one of those saying no. they had to go on. and he got back on himself. he went on to birmingham where they were dragged off to jail and then they were driven out into klan country and dumped off on the side of the road. they went 0 montgomery where they were beaten by a mob outside the bus station. a mob that also beat up the press. a mob that also beat up john seigenthaler to try to make peace with local authorities. they went on to jackson, mississippi, where they were not only beaten and jailed they were ultimately sent to the state penitentiary to parchment farm in mississippi. john lewis did not take that fellowship and go to india. he stayed in the south, he was obstinate against one side in refusing to back down in the fa

he writes about this in his books, about how influenced he was by king and gandhi. when he gets the prize what does he have to say? well, i'm president now. and i remember for myself being very critical of him because he said well, they didn't have to deal with terrorism. which i thought was laughable. king died because of terrorism and gandhi what is colonialism other than terrorism? so what he was basically saying is that if king had been elected president in some miracle, he would have had to make the same kinds of compromises. and that may be true. it may well be that one of the things about being the president of a modern nation state that has a monopoly on violence at least it's supposed to that's one of the things we're discussing is now terrorism you have to do what you have to do. and your basic job is to protect -- protect the nation. and, you know, i think that's one of the things that perhaps all of us face when we look at king and we say we admire him. but do we really believe in nonviolence as a principal? well, i think most of is would say yeah, i do
