About This Document: Denied the right to dwell in a pukka or proper house, to drink from a common well or metal cup, to receive food service, or to enter a pukka or proper place of worship, they are lumped with dirt, disease, drugs, and debt. "Christian," David Jeffrey reminds us, is an adjective, a property of something else, a concept that implies some sort of "diminishment" or positional subordination.8 Things that are Christian-whether activities, entities, communities, missions, institutions, or individuals-are defined by relationship, by being subject to the person of Jesus Christ. The basic contradiction between varnashramadharma-as defined by genomes of birth, blood, and earth, privileged by classical civilization (Sanskriti) and tradition-and the Gospel message of a single imago Dei emphasis upon a biologically and theologically affirmed single human nature remains exposed.
