Somewhat more encouraging reversals

Walls continues with a further pertinent observation…

‘Nevertheless, now, when the British Empire has almost disappeared, the center of gravity for the Christian faith has shifted to the southern continents. Nigeria and Kenya and Zaire – perhaps even India – are probably now more “central” to the Christian faith than Britian is. And those countries all have a Christian history of their own, in which the missionary period is only an episode.’
