Biography

Fr. C. Murray Rogers writes from the Jyotiniketan Ashram in Bareilly, India. He was an Anglican priest who came to India on official missionary duty with his wife Mary and with Fr. C. F. Andrews. However, they were inspired by Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux, O.S.B.) and chose to live his example of a life of poverty. The ashram they founded, Jyotiniketan, was ecumenical in nature, and had a special focus on Christian-Hindu relations. Rogers had contact with scholars of interreligious relations, such as Raimundo Panikkar (Raimon Panikkar) and Dr. J. A. Cuttat. Merton and Rogers had common friends in Fr. (now Canon) Donald Allchin.
