  16. Greville Ewing, founder of the Edinburgh Missionary Society, noted that the East India Company resisted missions because the gospel unsettled profitable injustice. Faithful preaching, he assumed, makes exploitation harder to maintain. If so, which dissatisfactions do we fear today—and which conversions do we resist? How might the gospel advance with integrity?
