In a reading for a class I'm taking at Regent College I came across an essay by Leslie Newbigin. I'd read him before but, for some reason, many of his thoughts had some deep resonations with me now. Here's the quote:
Newbigin gives us tells the reader this after critiquing modern secular projects at unity (which often involve too much compromise), and then critiquing imperialistic projects at unity (which involve violence and triumphalism). I think he's arrived at a true unity project. You?

Wonderful book, I just read it again and loved it more the second time than the first. He has the heart of a missionary for our own culture.
Denial of self needs to happen at the level of our cultural identity. Instead of cross-cultural exchange we need to exchange culture for the cross. I like what's being said in this post. Ultimately, we must see every culture redeemed and bowing before the slain Lamb as in Revelation 7:9, 10.
