Thank y...Your review was very balanced and mature. Thank you for voicing your opinions so considerately.<br /><br />I've had a chance to interview K.P. about 10 years ago. Yes, back when he wrote "Revolution", he had quite the bone to pick with American Christians and missionaries.<br /><br />On the flip side, his criticisms of American Christian spending and such were echoed by a boyfriend who later went back home to become a native Pastor. <br /><br />Many overseas struggle with the immense wealth here that we take for granted; clean drinking water, sewage sanitation, garbage pickup, consistent electricity, ambulance service. My native pastor friend told me I wouldn't be able to handle his home country, where homeless people commonly defecate in the street and other heart-breaking things.<br /><br />Another native Indian relayed a story of how his mother passed away from a heart attack at 50. If there had been ambulance service, she most likely would've survived.<br /><br />Maybe this is where your friends' urgency originated from; realizing for the first time there is an entire world out there that we are affecting with our daily choices.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492657851298201044noreply@blogger.com
