MonicaPz Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Ol' Charlie, Wow! What a moving story! Have a rock solid faith, but I feel very strongly that missionaries need to RESPECT the culture of indigenous tribles, and not FORCE their faith upon them. Monica 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We may not understand everthing but respecting the uniqueness of their culture can built respect and brother/ sisterhood. :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
