Special Seminar | March 1-2

the church of Christ on McDermott Road | Fellowship Hall

This seminar is designed to equip Christians to thoughtfully and faithfully connect with neighbors from India and Hindu backgrounds. Through teaching and discussion, participants will gain a clearer understanding of beliefs, values, and worldviews commonly shaped by Indian cultural and religious backgrounds, and consider practical ways to reflect the love of Jesus in everyday relationships.

The seminar will be led by Dr. Mani A. Pagidipalli, a medical doctor and longtime evangelist who brings both academic depth and real-world ministry experience. Dr. Pagidipalli holds advanced degrees in biblical studies, including graduate work in New Testament Greek and biblical languages, and has spent decades teaching, preaching, and training Christians to engage thoughtfully across cultures. His unique background in medicine, theology, and cross-cultural outreach shapes the practical and instructional nature of this seminar.

The sessions are intended for adults and teens who want to grow in awareness, understanding, and confidence when engaging in cross-cultural conversations. This is not an outreach event for inviting neighbors, but a learning environment for Christians to be better prepared in their own interactions.

Sessions will be offered on Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, and Monday evening, allowing flexibility to attend one or multiple sessions. This event will not be recorded or streamed, please plan to join us in-person.
