[QUOTE="Amerikaur, post: 7326, member: 1050"] [b]Re: Kala Afghana: An Adi Granth Purist[/b] Dear Vijaydeep Singh ji... Das ji... You brought up a beautiful comparison, although you are combining the names of two Catholic saints: St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Ignatius Loyola. The combination is quite auspicious: the two had quite a bit in common. Martin Luther communicated by nailing his essays to the doors of the church, introducing a zealous form of evangelism to Christianity, and repeatedly called for the expulsion of Jewish influence from Germany.. St. Ignatious Loyola was a contemporary of Martin Luther. Like St. Francis, his form of fundamentalism was taking the gospel so seriously seriously he was determined to live his entire life the way Jesus and the saints did...without money or possessions, and with only love for God in their heart. He and six of his schoolmates took a vow of chastity and obedience...determined to head to the Holy Land. If they could not reach the Holy Land, they would go as far as Rome, and offer themselves to the Pope. He and the Jesuits communicated through higher education. By the time Martin Luther had passed away, St. Ignatius Loyola had opened colleges in many countries...including as far away as India. Today The Jesuits keep his spirit alive, by running some of the finest universities in the world: Georgetown University, Boston College, the many Loyola Universities, etc. What difference does education make? See for yourself. A Jesuit (Fr. Francis Xavier) offers the only European literary reference to any of our Gurus, writing about the martyrdom of Guru Arjun Dev ji in 1608. [url="http://allaboutsikhs.com/events/arjunmartyrdom.htm"]http://allaboutsikhs.com/events/arjunmartyrdom.htm[/url] A Loyola University story on an interfaith vigil, offers several references to Sikhism and a Sikh in attendance. [url="http://www.luc.edu/orgs/phoenix/sept26peace.htm"]http://www.luc.edu/orgs/phoenix/sept26peace.htm[/url] The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the 2nd largest organization of American Lutherans, offers this description of Sikhs.
