This podcast was to have been on theological education. The producers changed the title to 'The Challenge of Language'. That made me think, this could be of interest to MAP folks.
Andy Bettencourt of Frontier Ventures interviews Jim Harries about the importance of using local languages and resources in mission, education, and theology. We discuss the challenges of communicating with and serving people from very different worlds/cultures and how often foreigners misunderstand or train Africans out of their local contexts and practices.
