On today's program, former CEO of Orange, Kristen Ivy, originally admitted to an “inappropriate relationship” with the ministry's founder Reggie Joiner. Now, she's reclassifying that relationship as clergy abuse. We'll have details. Also, summer is the season of short-term missions—but The Chalmers Center has some warnings before posting about those trips on social media. We'll take a look.  And, former S-B-C leader and long-time megachurch pastor Ed Young announces he's retiring. But first, a young American missionary couple and a ministry leader were killed by gangs in Haiti. Natalie and Davy Lloyd  were American Missionaries working with Missions in Haiti, Inc. and Jude Montis was the Haitian director of the organization Jude Montis. The three, were killed by gang members near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Thursday night (May 23). The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh.  We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Fiona Andrè, Bob Smietana, Kim Roberts, Brittany Smith, Jessica Eturralde, and Christina Darnell. Until next time, may God bless you.

Jeremy Salkeld (EnclavedMicrostate) talks with Dr. Joseph W. Ho on the subject of his new book, 'Developing Mission: Photography, Filmmaking, and American Missionaries in Modern China'. While missionary photographers in China have often been approached either as missionaries or as photographers, Dr. Ho's book approaches the subject in its entirety, discussing the role photography played in the missionary enterprise, and in the creation and continuance of Chinese Christian communities in the 20th century. 30 mins.

Joseph W. Ho's book Developing Mission: Photography, Filmmaking, and American Missionaries in Modern China (Cornell University Press, 2021) offers a transnational cultural history of US and Chinese communities framed by missionary lenses through time and space―tracing the lives and afterlives of images, cameras, and visual imaginations from before the Second Sino-Japanese War through the first years of the People's Republic of China. When American Protestant and Catholic missionaries entered interwar China, they did so with cameras in hand. Missions principally aimed at the conversion of souls and the modernization of East Asia, became, by virtue of the still and moving images recorded, quasi-anthropological ventures that shaped popular understandings of and formal foreign policy toward China. Portable photographic technologies changed the very nature of missionary experience, while images that missionaries circulated between China and the United States affected cross-cultural encounters in times of peace and war. Ho illuminates the centrality of visual practices in the American missionary enterprise in modern China, even as intersecting modernities and changing Sino-US relations radically transformed lives behind and in front of those lenses. In doing so, Developing Mission reconstructs the almost-lost histories of transnational image makers, subjects, and viewers across twentieth-century China and the United States. Dr. Joseph W. Ho is Assistant Professor of History at Albion College and Center Associate at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, University of Michigan. In addition to his current book, Dr. Ho is the coeditor of War and Occupation in China: The Letters of an American Missionary from Hangzhou, 1937-1938. Linshan Jiang is Ph.D. candidate in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.

In this episode Harrison tells the story of one of the more famous 21st century American Missionaries, Jim Elliot. Jim Elliot once stated, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” To some, Jim gave up everything and gained nothing. But to Jim and Elizabeth the treasures of this world were worth giving up to proclaim the riches of the glory of Christ till death brought them to their heavenly home. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-exiles-podcast/support

In this interview, Mitchell speaks with Achi Tsepal, the founder of the Children of Tibet Trust Foundation who has a highly unique background. Achi was born in Kham, Tibet and received his name from the Drikung Thil Monastery in Central Tibet. Lord Jigten Sumgon founded the Drikung Thil Monastery, which is being rebuilt since its destruction during the Cultural Revolution in China. In 1959 Achi's parents escaped into India after a three and half month's difficult journey over the Himalayas. There were four Monastic groups (labrangs) and about 50 families from the Drikung Valley who followed HH the 14th Dalai Lama into India, but only Achi's family made it. In 1961, he was fortunate to be one of the four boys selected among hundreds of Tibetan Refugee kids in Mussoorie, North India to attend Wynberg Allen High school to receive a great education. 1970 While attending Christ College, Bangalore, India Achi worked with American Missionaries to start two hostels in Bangalore for children from the Tibetan Refugee communities in South India. Hundreds of Tibetan children graduated from several private schools in Bangalore to become leaders in the Tibetan communities today. 1974 after graduating with BA from Bangalore University, Achi was chosen by HH the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, the head of the Karma Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism, to accompany him during HH's first and second World Dharma Peace Tour as Private Secretary and English Interpreter…. and served in this capacity for seven years at Rumtek Monastery, Sikkim, India. 1981 Achi and his family moved to Washington DC to start a new life and during his spare time he worked hard co-founded the Tibetan Meditation Center (1982) and the Drikung Dharma Surya Buddhist Center (2011) belonging to the Drikung Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism. Over the years, these two Drikung Kagyu Centers have hosted many great Teachers including HH the Dalai Lama, HH Gyalwa Drikungpa Chestang and the great Yogi Master HE Kyabje Garchen. He believes that the spread of Buddha Dharma around the world will help the world community to attain peace. In 2008, Achi was the 2008 Machik Award for Engagement Winner for his work through the Children of Tibet Trust Foundation. This organization is currently sponsoring students in the secondary and tertiary education and hopes that the education of these children in the Tibetan Plateau and in the Himalayan regions will enable them to preserve their Tibetan heritage and well being. As a Tibetan, Achi has a deep appreciation of his unique and rich cultural heritage and at the same time realizes the daunting challenges the Tibetans face in their struggle to survive as a race with its unique cultural heritage under the Chinese Han rulers in Tibet and with the assimilation problem of the Tibetan identity in Tibet and the free world. The core mission of CTTF is to help the Tibetan children on the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayan regions to obtain the best secular education so that they can promote, preserve and persist in their work to keep pace with rapid modernization. This rare and unique interview with a man who has lived through the tumultuous history of the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the Tibetan flight across the Himalayas to India, then to find himself working with the highest teachers in Tibetan Buddhism while in India and America, makes for an extraordinary life and a historically with interview for A Better World Podcasts. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support

An Anti-Racist Faith Lecture Series: PCUSA History & Anti-racism by Dr. William Yoo

SPC is excited to host a lecture series that will continue our anti-racist faith formation. An Anti-Racist Faith seeks to inform and undergird the work to which we are called, opposing racism endemic to our society, while promoting racial tolerance that strengthens the fabric of our common life. From a policy statement adopted in 1999 by the General Assembly of the PC(USA), entitled Facing Racism, “We believe antiracist efforts are an essential aspect of Christian discipleship, without which we fail to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. We believe our work is inherently intersectional in dismantling all systems of oppression, and so, we desire to come together in ways that can transform lives and perpetuate values that will change both church and society.” To this end, we've invited speakers with expertise in biblical studies, Presbyterian church history, liturgy and theology, to bring this anti-racist work into conversation with Scripture, church and denominational history, and our practice of worship.   William Yoo is Associate Professor of American Religious and Cultural History and Director of the Master of Divinity Program at Columbia Theological Seminary. He is the author of American Missionaries, Korean Protestants, and the Changing Shape of World Christianity and editor of The Presbyterian Experience in the United States: A Sourcebook. He is currently writing a book on the history of slavery and anti-Black racism in Presbyterianism in the United States.

One of the most notorious gangs in Haiti is holding hostage a group of American missionaries, including children. The country has the highest kidnapping rate in the world. The threat of being taken hostage is one that Haitians— rich and poor alike — face every day. And when people in the US and the UK donate clothes they don't want anymore, those clothes end up for sale in a massive secondhand market in Accra, Ghana. But the boom in quickly made, inexpensive clothing around the world has led to an environmental crisis in countries like Ghana. Plus, TikTok has come a long way from its lip-syncing days for Generation Z. Now, innovators are using the app to help teach and spread the word on Indigenous languages across the globe.

The past decade has seen a tremendous production of scholarship on American missionary endeavors in the Middle East. In Faithful Encounters: Authorities and American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire (McGill-Queens University Press, 2018), Emrah Şahin approaches this dynamic field of inquiry from a less-common perspective, that of the Ottoman Empire. Relying on largely untapped official imperial sources emanating from the Sublime Porte, Şahin recounts complaints from local authorities and fraught diplomatic considerations, which Ottoman sultans, ministers, and bureaucrats were forced to grapple with as they sought to maintain control of their Empire. Weaving together compelling stories from Ottoman records, the book describes the Sublime Porte's efforts to regulate physical space, censor missionary publications, and monitor missionary activities. With engaging anecdotes, Faithful Encounters offers a more complex look at Muslim-Christian relations and America's engagement with the Ottomans. Emrah Şahin is the director of the Turkish Studies Program at the University of Florida and a lecturer at their Center for European Studies. He earned his PhD in History from McGill University in Canada. Joshua Donovan is a PhD candidate at Columbia University's Department of History.

It's the third episode of Lent 2019, and a fascinating (and timely) conversation to boot! Karine Walther, Associate Professor at Georgetown University in Qatar speaks to recently submitted (congratulations!)Cambridge PhD student Tom Smith about her paper 'Spreading the Faith: American Missionaries, ARAMCO and the Birth of the US-Saudi Special Relationship, 1889-1955'. Professor Walther looks at the work of American Missionaries both on the ground in Arabia and back in the United States, and their role in shaping American approaches to the Middle East. Building on her previous project, which ended its focus 1921, this paper(and the upcoming book)explores the complicated relationship between the formation of the Arabian American Oil Company(ARAMCO)and American missionary activity and ideology. The conversation also touches on (among other things) the meaning and consequences of the US-Saudi 'special relationship', the new perspectives gained by working on the Gulf region from Qatar, and a rather unique archival problem! Feel free to get in touch via @camericanist on Twitter or ltd27@cam.ac.uk if you have any questions, suggestions or feedback for the future. Spread the word, and thanks for listening!
