&lt;span&gt;He Was Turned Away from Church&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="text-content clearfix field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;During Mahatma Gandhi’s student days he read the Gospels and thought
that maybe he had found the cure to the caste system of India. He decided to go
to church and ask the minister how to become a Christian.&amp;nbsp;However, when he
entered the building the usher refused to give him a seat, and suggested that he
should worship with his own people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gandhi left the church and never returned. He said to
himself, “If Christians have caste differences also, I might as well remain a
Hindu.”&lt;/p&gt;
