Western Saviours?

The changing cultural landscape in Europe and the US has affected Western attitudes to race and our colonial heritage, calling into question whether we should even be engaging in cross-cultural medical mission any more.

To understand better, CMF’s Global Committee commissioned a working group to ask Christian health professionals around the world, as well as in the UK, for their views and experiences.

 The results show that while there is still a genuine need for cross-cultural medical mission, the need for humility, cultural sensitivity, and grace to undertake this in genuine partnership is greater than ever.
