520 |a In an earlier issue of Practical Anthropology there was an editorial which raised again briefly the question of the relevance of so much of our missionary teaching and preaching.1 The editorial concluded as follows: “I do not think missionary education, or missionary preaching, should be abolished because it has so badly distorted its message in the past, and continues to do so. But I do feel that preaching, and teaching, will themselves have to be transformed if they are to convey more relevantly the message of the true Transformation which comes in men's lives only in the context of the life they know. Only when teaching becomes relevant both to faith and to life (African or Indian or Asian life) will education be Christian education, and (dare we say it?) will preaching be Christian preaching in such areas of extreme conflict of cultural values. There have been sensitive souls whose ministry has been so transformed. Relatively speaking, they seem to be few.“Fortunately the Holy Spirit works anyhow, and strangely enough. He works through us (the missionaries) even though we are often preoccupied with tasks that will make it as hard as possible for Him. We have very often substituted the filthy rags of culture — OUR culture — for the Bread of Life, but the Holy Spirit has built a church in many places, though it often is festooned in a bizarre way with these unlovely tatters.”We received a provocative reply to this editorial from Dr. William Samarin, and have used it as the basis of a symposium treating some of the issues related to the Christian witness through education.
