Episode 15: Sharing the Spotlight
Listen to this episode from The Church Interpreting Podcast on Spotify. Some preachers might be scared to work with interpreters since it could feel like interpreters will steal the attention. We discuss some good responses to this and laugh about how we are still interpreters even after the service is finished. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I have literally just submitted a book that tells churches not to treat migrant ministry as something they do for "poor, unfortunate migrants", as it makes things worse. Today, I came across an article with case studies of churches doing just that and guess what? It made things worse.
Sometimes I don't want to be right.
If you are interested in better models than paternalism, my new book is out in the summer.
