I would agree that it is untrue if it was an opinion but it isn't.<BR/><BR/>If this message has been around for 60 years or so why hasn't it changed the nature of the western church's engagement with 'the rest'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13324051.post-13561785275890824162007-02-26T11:02:00.000-06:002007-02-26T11:02:00.000-06:00As the editor for Urbana 06's website - and a hobb...As the editor for Urbana 06's website - and a hobby historian for Urbana, I offer this observation on Muriu: It was an important message, easily the highlight of the convention, but far from a brand-new message.<BR/><BR/>In fact, Muriu was building off 60 years of similar missiology, not the least of which has been presented at Urbana conventions. Urbana 67's theme was "All Nations to All Nations"; that was forty years ago. <BR/><BR/>Muriu's most important contribution was the insight that maturity is not marked by national independence, but by interdependence.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, his comment on poison chalice was plain wrong. Western theology is not poisonous—it’s incomplete. We indeed need Africans, and Koreans etc. But it will not serve us to simply call Western theology poisonous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
