One-Way Missions in the Age of Global Christianity: A View from Thailand
This article outlines the rapidly increasing level of missionary activity by Thailand’s Protestant churches and then notes a tendency for missions to flow from groups of higher prestige and socio-economic power to groups of lower prestige. Noting that the same pattern is observable among Christian missions worldwide, the author calls for greater attention to the patterns of church-mission partnerships, greater openness to spiritual leadership from groups of lower status, and greater attention to the work of non- Western missions worldwide. He also notes that failure to correct these patterns could sometimes lead missions to overlook the very kinds of movements among less respected peoples that had given rise to the churches in which their own personnel had been raised.
