This is great Joash! I agree with you, that as a western evangelical, I myself have felt an element of pride over my brothers and sisters in other countries. But the sad truth is that America has transported its version of evangelicalism to many other nations in particular India. We need to be curious and lifelong learners.
Yes. I think what separates those who are able to learn and grow and those who become more and more insular is the response to discomfort, particularly discomfort about our own crowd, whatever that crowd may be. If in our automatic defensiveness we just stop listening, there is no room for change.
Discomfort is good. Iron sharpens iron! I'm grateful for your voice and the wrestling it creates. We need to learn, as followers of Jesus, to think more deeply and rethink the way things have always been done so that there is actual justice for all.
