Jones' Principles of Sharing Christ in a cross cultural /multicultural environment

 1.Christianity should be defined as Christ , not the old testament , not western civilization ,not even the systems built around him in the west , but only Christ himself and to be a Christian is to follow him.

2.Christ must be interpreted in terms of Christian experience rather than through mere arguments .

3. Be absolutely frank - there should be no camouflage in hiding ones meaning or purpose by non-committal subjects.The audience should know exactly what it is they are coming to hear

4. Announce beforehand that there is to be no attack on anybody's religion. There should be only a positive presentation of Christ. "You cannot cut the nose and then give a rose to smell".

5. Allow them to ask questions at the close - face everything and dodge no difficulties.

Rev. Stanley Jones , Christ of the Indian Road
