Dear New Tribes Mission:
What is your policy on protecting the traditional culture of
the tribal
peoples you work with?
Can you prove that you do not displace their traditional
culture and what
actions and oversight you take to guarantee that this does not
happen even on
the part of unskilled evangelists, or zealots as some like to
call them?
Do you have an ethic for your treatment of tribal peoples
regarding the utmost
respect for who they are, what they believe and the culture
that they practice
and can you show that you succeed in enforcing that among your
workers and
that it is an ethic that is made available to the public?
Thankyou
Matthew McDaniel
