Abstract This paper envisages a perspective that “Mission to People of Other Faiths,” can be reconceived today as “Witnessing Christ in the Company of People of Other Faiths.” The first section clarifies the significance of this shift of emphasis and submits it to the august partecipants of Edinburgh 2010 for approval as a direction for mission-thinking in the days to come. The second and third sections are specifically on witnessing Christ in the company of Hindus. Indian Christian thinkers had and are having numerous dialogues with Hindus and their faith experiences, and diverse enriching affirmations of Christian faith have emerged as a result of this and the second section indicates the highlights of a few of these. The third section is on the contributions of a few Hindu witnesses to Christ, specifically Neo-Vedantic understandings and interpretations of Jesus. Finally we provide some concluding observations.
