some notes...
Vanishing Grace
p31
The priest Henri Nouwen learned humility on a mission trip to South America. He went expecting to pass on his wisdom to the poor and unenlightened. During his six-month stay, Nouwen concluded that a desire to save, whether from sin or poverty or exploitation, is one of the most damaging motives in ministry.
It makes all the difference in the world whether I view my neighbor as a potential convert or as someone whom God already loves.
p33
'Jay, I apologize for anything ever done to you in the name of God.'
These help me to rethink how am I to do evangelism; also during the RZIM the question asked to Amy Orr-Ewing's mom, "why aren't you a Christian?" a question... with dignity and respect.
