#55 Mark Charles on Contextualization & Native Communities How boarding schools were used to assimilate Native Americans into Western European American culture. Why contextualizing the gospel in native communities is challenging. How different cultural perceptions of time play themselves out in church and culture. An eye opening, but common story that captures the failure of the western European church to promote gospel contextualization.
#56 Mark Charles on the Doctrine of Discovery What the Doctrine of Discovery is and how it has shaped the foundations of the United States. How the church’s complicity with the empire led to the Doctrine of Discovery. What white trauma is and how it manifests itself. Why white America can’t fix racism. Why Racial “Conciliation” is a more appropriate term than Racial Reconciliation.
