| Summary: | Missionaries of the conservative or “evangelical” branch of American Christianity often look at their colleagues from the large denominations as highly professionalized. In this article, Melvert W. Byers takes a hard look at another side of the problem, unconscious professionalism and its effect on the understanding of the place of the gospel in society. His illustrations are taken from his own background, and the point is not completely new, but there are implications for everyone serving Christ. |
