Chester/Timmis: cross-cultural at home

Claiming that the West is a mission field is now common.  But there is a big gap between the rhetoric and the reality of our attitudes.  One of the measures of that gap is the extent to which we are willing - or  unwilling - to learn from the experience of mission and the church around the world.  If we really believed we were in  mission field then we would all be reading books written by Third-World Christians and cross-cultural missionaries.
