Mahatma Gandhi on Christianity

During his early days in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi inquired about Christianity. For several Sundays he attended a Christian church.

They were not an assembly of devout souls, but appeared rather worldly-minded people going to church for recreation and in conformity to custom.” Gandhi concluded there was nothing in Christianity that could be of service to him, and he went his way.
