So he's not addressing IM. But the overall principle seems to be a discouragement of paternalism for the role of the outsider, and thus related to IM.? <br />Meaning MBBs and MBCs have the responsibility to work through their own social-religious identity, and not have it imposed on them by outsiders. I wonder if you can ask him to comment? I'm curious too.Warrick Farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389839484261120626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581047259314187297.post-14673586004573162742012-10-24T20:33:13.607+03:002012-10-24T20:33:13.607+03:00I have been influenced quite a bit by Pikkert.

As I've learned a lot more about the history of mission I feel he has some blind spots (the Reformed American Arabia mission, for instance) which he does not give enough attention to.<br /><br />But this is an interesting quote, and thanks for posting it. Overall I agree with it, though from corresponding with him I do not think he would support IM, but perhaps I'm wrong about that. Do you read this as allowing for IM? Just out of curiosity...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
