P.T. Forsyth, Scottish Congregationalist, in a tone of chilly moral bookkeeping, notes that Christian missions often arrived trailing gin, germs, guns, slavery, and a general air of superiority. And when they didn’t, they still demolished local beliefs without building anything better. If people now despise us, he’d ask why we think contempt is an evangelistic strategy. Respect, he suggests, might work better.
