Just Mission: Laying Down Power and Embracing Mutuality - Mekdes Haddis

Descriere Just Mission: Laying Down Power and Embracing Mutuality - Mekdes Haddis

\n \nWhy do American Christians travel overseas to reach people in distant lands, but neglect ministering to people who immigrate from those lands to their home communities? \n \nWhy does Western missions funding depend on narratives that marginalize indigenous leadership?\n \nWhy are diaspora Christians from the Global South not seen as legitimate missionaries to the West?\n \nWestern mission often still centers the senders, without as much understanding of the experiences of the receivers. Mekdes Haddis, an Ethiopian now living in the United States, provides a postcolonial critique of Western mission, upending the white savior complex and arguing for a more globally just approach. A Just Mission examines evangelical mission from the perspective of the receiver, highlighting areas of weakness and naming injustices.\n \nUnveiling the negative impact of Western mission on the global church, Haddis addresses how white supremacy infiltrates and subverts mission organizations' good intentions, disrupting grassroots missions and local leadership development. Weaving together theology and Scripture with stories from people of color and diaspora groups, A Just Mission offers hope that the mission and message of Jesus can indeed become good news for all.\n
