Admittedly one of our more atheist-y episodes, today we offer the second installment of our “Abroad Series”. This show takes a deep-dive, critical look into the phenomenon of missionary work-mostly of the Christian/Evangelical variety. From New York to Brasil, West Africa to Uganda, India to the Caribbean and back, we scrutinize the mission field; its presumptions of good faith and nobility and a religious ideology too easily associated with virtue, cultural diversity and community uplift.
Our story is told in three parts: A personal narrative; a trenchant critique on a missionary ripped from the headlines and a culminating, feature interview with Dr. Adria Armbister. She is a distinguished professional in International Development, hails from a denomination well-known for its reputation abroad and both member and ally of the BSC-DC organization.
