Summary: Friendship breaking religious boundaries
Comment: CF ("Charlie") Andrews was given the short shrift in the movie based on Gandhi's life. He was the only one to call Gandhi by the nickname, "Mohan," and was considered by Gandhi himself to be the highest representative of Christianity. Andrews himself had already moved from a high Christology to a Christianity based on such things as the Epistle of James and many of the Kingdom of God statements before meeting Gandhi. In this wonderfully short but insightful book, one is taken from their earliest correspondence up to the death of Andrews. A very powerful image that remains in my mind is the picture of Andrews in the hospital with Gandhi standing next to him holding Andrew's hand in both of his. For anyone interested in history, there's much inside information from the two men but of primary importance is the value they expressed in religion and how it shaped their lives. In a day when we take multiple religious crossings for granted, Gandhi and Charlie were forerunners, pioneers in a day of strife and conflict.
