TO BE FAIR - Contemplations of an Inconvenient Missionary
Here is a response to the revisionist narrative about Christianity and the church in general, and missionaries in particular. Some very ugly allegations have emerged and this response deals with them carefully and comprehensively. The author draw from his well of missionary experience in Africa, to give some perspective to Christian outreach in North America and elsewhere. He weighs it up in a balanced way, admitting that mistakes have been made, but that they tend to be overstated by the revisionist narrative. He point out the exaggeration and sets the record straight, with a broad historical round-up of missionary work. He admits that at times Christianity has clashed with local culture over specific issues, but shows that Christian conversion has never overpowered any culture. On the contrary, missionaries have brought "salt and light" to the nations, far and wide.
