Bede Griffiths (1903-1993), was a remarkable Christian who lived in South India for nearly 50 years. Griffiths sought the divine presence in a personal journey that began at Oxford University, continued to ordination as a Benedictine monk, and ended at an ashram in the Tamil region, where he spent nearly 50 years developing an interfaith dialogue between Christianity and Hinduism. Griffiths was a major spiritual leader in the Indian Christian Ashram movement which sought to reconcile the two faiths. For Griffiths, Western science, Eastern mysticism, and Christian faith were totally compatible.
