How can Western missionaries avoid creating imbalances of power between themselves and those they’re serving, and how can missionaries prepare for situations of disagreement with humility? The Urbana Missions Conference connects students with missionaries to encourage and develop sharing the gospel globally. This seminar addresses how Western missionaries can use their financial, educational, and cultural capital to empower, rather than dominate local environments.
From Dec 27 – Jan 1, volunteers with our network of early career Christian academics are liveblogging seminars at the Urbana conference, a mission-focused student gathering of 16,000 Christians from across North America and the world. Due to personal reasons, the speaker has requested not to be identified. Since information in this seminar may be sensitive in nature, specific names and locations are not included.
