Introduction

The Audich marry only within their Brahmin caste but will not marry within their clan or family. Families arrange weddings with the consent of the young people. Adult marriage is the norm. Weddings are elaborate rituals lasting days. The newly married couple generally lives near or with the groom's parents. The Audich are vegetarians who do not consume alcohol. They encourage their sons and daughters to obtain graduate degrees and achieve leadership in business, in education, in science and in religious service. Many Audich continue their traditional roles as Hindu priests and scholars. Some Audich still own large tracts of land cultivated by lower castes.

Ministry Obstacles

It is very difficult to persuade Brahmins to put their faith in Jesus Christ alone. One of the reasons is that they would have to fellowship with people from lower status communities; almost all of India’s Christians are from the lower strata.

Outreach Ideas
