The Challenge

[jaybreak]

Just so I'm making myself clear: I don't think the evangelism/mission concept is bad in itself. Extroverts have their place in God's plan, but extroverts exert more social power than introverts do, so the great majority of people observing it all would conclude whatever the extroverts propose is the only "anointed" way to do religion. There's lots of charity money to be made with missionary work, so it ends up being another typical corporatist industry sector. Missionary work is sold as dramatic and sexy, almost like starring in your own movie. We should be very wary of such packaging.
