Good questions.
lots of fails in history. have lessons been learned?
this piece addresses individuals, but, i sure wonder what government leaders are thinking.
speaking broadly, my perception is, lessons have not been learned. beliefs/words have changed, i'm not convinced impacts/results have improved ..
in history, Christians have taken criticism for faulty missionary work.
i'm not impressed with today's "secular" mission work, done by government, often under the label of Foreign Aid.
all interactions have impact, are important, whether individual, private groups, or government.
this piece is written from an Australian perspective.
i believe it relates to our U.S. experience.
