The White Christian's Burden
1978 • E15 Oct 29, 1978
Rhodesia is in a state of war: as in many other wars there are Christians supporting both sides. Is the Christian message political - or above politics? In Rhodesia the Christian mission has been one of the major influences on the present crisis: until recently 94 per cent of primary education consisted of mission schools.
Almost every Black leader has had a Christian education. ' I'm a product of the Catholics ... the racial character of our society is un-Christian, it's inhuman.' (ROBERT MUGABE , president of ZANU)
Today missionaries are dying in a war that both sides claim is inspired by Christian ideals.
Everyman looks at the tragic impact of the war on the missionaries and their families and asks: What are they dying for?
