Episode 9: "Better Than Nothing" Is Not Good Enough
Manage episode 314658372 series 2970381
Join Taylor and I as she details her experiences as a Christian missionary and unpacks the ethical issues that are rampant in that arena. We dig into the inherent Western white Christian supremacist side of missions, the inherent attitude of colonization that's wrapped up in it, the manipulative and abusive side of it, and how when women raise red flags about what's going on, they simply are not believed.
Content Warnings: child trafficking, poverty, power abuse, sexual abuse, church abuse, misogyny
The book Taylor mentioned is "Well: Healing our Beautiful, Broken World from a Hospital in West Africa" by Sarah Thebarge.
