| Summary: | Over two years ago an appeal went out in an editorial of this journal to its readers for “some careful analyses of the actual preaching content of the missionaries and national Christians in relation to the culture to which they are ministering.” The editor gave precise suggestions as to what he meant: “Given a specific cultural situation, a specific point of view in the minds of a group to which I am a missionary, or a group in my own country to which I am witnessing of my faith, what should I say? What have I said that has been particularly helpful? What is my approach? Why?”1 In this article, Harold Fehderau suggests steps toward a more relevant witness in Congo at this time of change and upheaval. His suggestions are programmatic. We are still looking for material analyzing the relevance of the content of Christian preaching. |
