Mephi says,"When we bring in unreached people groups (of all varieties) into the Church, we have JUST enhanced God's experience of beauty in God's contingent expression!"

A few years ago I went on a short term mission to southern Africa. I was horrified to find that we had been spreading the gospel of American christianity to the wonderful people of Africa. While the kernel of the gospel of Christ was there, it was wrapped in the cultural trappings of American church life.

When you frame it in terms of unity in diversity we have missed the mark in Africa and sought to reproduce ourselves in them. I'm sorry to put it in such stark language, but my spirit was really grieved the entire time I traveled Africa.

peace, don
