  1. Snakes in The Garden of Innocence
    =======================

    After days of hiking, the missionaries came across a tribe living in isolation from civilization. The tribals were surprised to see outsiders, but were very welcoming and hospitable, showing the missionaries around the village, like children, excited to have guests, and eager to show them around their little world. They usually walked around nude, wearing nothing but flowers and smiles. They laughed a lot, the loud laughter of carefree people. In a few days, the missionaries had learned some of their mellifluous language. They told the tribals to receive the Word of God, and become Christians, which greatly confused the tribe. The missionaries pushed on, telling them that they had to be saved, which caused the tribe to guffaw, and roar with laughter. A silver haired matriarch spoke up and said they were fine, and didn't understand what they needed to be saved from. Frustrated, a missionary put a movie on his laptop to keep the tribe busy, while the missionaries held a meeting to discuss how to convert these heathen. While they were in the meeting, the tribe gathered around the laptop, and watched "The Passion of The Christ", transfixed. After watching the movie, the whole tribe made a beeline to be saved, with aghast expressions.

  4. Knibb appeals to Britons’ tenderness, their fortitude, and their love of liberty — and deploys all three in the same direction: ending slavery. It’s worth noting that these virtues were once considered mutually reinforcing. Today they are more commonly arranged in opposition, with fortitude and liberty summoned specifically to overcome tenderness — particularly, it seems, any tenderness about slavery.

  5. Judson gave the Burmese a written language — and with it, a literature, a national identity, and the quiet subversion of their own oppression. Churches followed. The gospel and liberation arrived together, as apparently they sometimes do, which is inconvenient for those who’ve invested heavily in keeping them separate.

  9. A quotation from John Adams

    We have now, it seems a National Bible Society, to propagate King James Bible, through all Nations. Would it not be better, to apply these pious Subscriptions, to purify Christendom from the corruptions of Christianity; than to propagate those Corruptions in Europe, Asia, Africa and America!

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1816-11-04) to Thomas Jefferson
