Description
Summary:We have long wanted Practical Anthropology to be a conversation. Although the bi-monthly publication schedule does not allow for a rapid exchange of ideas, it should be more than a monologue. For this reason we are happy to publish the article below. Many readers will feel that Whiting's understanding of Christianity is superficial. Can anyone tell him how this is so — with as much sympathy as he has shown, and in terms that he will understand?1 At the same time he does emphasize principles which many missionaries have long taken to heart, and problems with which they have wrestled, but which are altogether too easy to overlook, and which some have never seen.
