In Jesus’ instructions to his disciples from our Gospel reading today, he describes their ministry as being students of God, and ultimately, servants of humanity. Charles Freer Andrews certainly took both to heart in his ministry. What might we learn from the life of the man who was one of the very few who called Mahatma Gandhi “Mohan”, and Gandhi called “Charlie?” For starters, few people would have predicted that he would have ended up as an Anglican. Andrews was born in 1871 in Newcastle upon Tyne in England to a family who were practitioners of the Catholic Apostolic Church–a sect that believed in prophecy, speaking in tongues, and the regular occurrence of healing miracles–considered to be one of the ancestors of what would come to be known in the United States as Pentecostalism. His father held the title of “angel” (roughly equivalent to a bishop) in Birmingham. Yet he began to embrace Anglicanism in his teenage and college years and was ordained first as deacon (1896) and priest (1897) in the Church of England. He accepted a post as the vice-principal of Wescott House Theological College in Cambridge–and despite being an administrator, one might say that is where his studenthood began.
