Foreign aid is wasted...I generally agree with this. Foreign aid is wasted by the contributors and is wasted on the recipients. However, I don't agree with the view that missionaries have always been a force for good. Take the Democratic Republic of The Congo as an example. Before the arrival of missionaries and admittedly Stanley and his crones, the native folk in the DRC lived idyllic village lives. Everyone knew their status and the word of the Chief was law. Generally each village got on well with its neighbours. The arrival of Westerners changed all that and the DRC is now one of the most dangerous countries on earth.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144906426699865734noreply@blogger.com
