[net.religion] Refugees: Taking away their religion.

pmd@cbscc.UUCP (Paul Dubuc) (06/18/84)

The following segment of my posting of the Table of Contents
of the recent issue of "Christianity Today" magazine prompted
Y. S. Martillo to comment that Beth Spring would like to take
away the religion of these "Boat People".

Refugees:  Off Sinking Boats into American Churches		26
    by Beth Spring

	Refugee populations in the United States may provide
	one of the most significant home mission fields ever
	seen.

Sigh.  Read the article, Mr. Martillo.  You might learn a little
more about what "missions" means to many Christians.  I am
suprised that you would pronounce such a judgement from ignorance.

One General Comment:  I post the TOC of "Christianity Today"
strictly for the information of those who are interested.
If you aren't interested, please ignore the posting.  I think
it is a foolish gesture to make uninformed pronouncements on the
content of, or motivation behind, the articles based on the table
of contents.
