Mission og konvertering

FORTÆLLINGEN OM DANSK MISSION OG HVORDAN TUSINDVIS AF MÆND OG KVINDER FRA ALLE DELE AF SAMFUNDET TOG TIL AFRIKA, MELLEMØSTEN, INDIEN OG KINA FOR AT DRIVE HOSPITALER, SKOLER OG OMVENDE VERDEN Da danskerne ville omvende Verden er den første samlede fremstilling af den danske ydre missionsbevægelse fra dens begyndelse i ca. 1890, storhedstiden op til første verdenskrig og frem til i dag. På sit højdepunkt havde missionsbevægelsen 100.000 medlemmer og direkte forbindelse med op til 15 % af den danske befolkning. Den spillede en kæmpemæssig rolle som kilde til viden om fremmede himmelstrøg og den koloniale verden –både gennem de bøger og udstillinger, som fortalte om missionsarbejdet og skulle tiltrække flere missionærer, og gennem de mange breve, som blev sendt hjem til familie og venner i Danmark om stort og småt i en indisk landsby eller et hospital i Mellemøsten. Samtidig var missionsbevægelsen på godt og ondt udgangspunkt for den formentlig største danske påvirkning af verden uden for Europa i perioden, ligesom den blev en forløber for det moderne bistandsarbejde. Bogen fortæller om bevægelsens historie både i Danmark og ude i missionsmarken, hvor tusindvis af mennesker – ikke mindst mange enlige kvinder – brugte store dele af deres liv. Det er en historie med mange stærke skikkelser, fascinerende livsforløb og ikke altid lige vellykkede forsøg på at udbrede egen tro og kultur. Da danskerne ville omvende Verden fortæller hele missionsbevægelsens historie med blik for både positive og negative sider af bevægelsens betydning.

Peder N. Pedersen, forfatterens bedstefars fætter, voksede op på den jyske hede. Han begyndte som hyrdedreng, og siden blev han karl og fodermester. Han havde en drøm om at blive læge og missionær og sparede penge sammen til at tage præliminæreksamen fra Københavns Universitet. Med økonomisk hjælp fra familie og venner tog han derefter lægeeksamen fra universitetet i Edinburgh. Han blev en dygtig kirurg, fandt sig en pragtfuld skotsk kone, Barbara, og sammen drog de i 1912 til Kina. Undervejs til at blive læge og i alle årene i Kina, mødte Peder utallige vanskeligheder, men overvandt dem alle med en blanding af jysk stædighed og en udtalt sans for humor. Bogen er for en stor del baseret på Peders og Barbaras egne samtidige skildringer af livet i Kina, både af lægemissionen, livet med kineserne og de store politiske forandringer, der skete, mens Kina gik fra kejserdømme til republik. Bogen skildrer også de verdenshistoriske begivenheder, som familien blev inddraget i på nært hold. Peder var drevet af næstekærlighedsbuddet. Han elskede Kina, og de mennesker, han virkede mellem i Kina, elskede ham. Bogen hedder ”Kina kalder.” Et ‘kald’ kan beskrives som en indre dybtfølt trang til noget. Peder følte sig ’kaldet’ til at tage til Kina som lægemissionær. Titlen dækker også den samhørighed med Kina og kineserne, der kom ud af de mange års ophold: ”Længslen efter Kina i Danmark er større end længslen efter Danmark i Kina.” Peder og Barbara oplevede den japanske besættelse 1931-45, tilslut med et meget hårdt fangenskab, uvished om børnenes skæbne, hvor datteren kom i kz-lejr i Japan, mens sønnen som kommandolæge i den engelske hær kæmpede i Tobruk og Burma. På et tidspunkt vidste hverken forældrene eller nogle af børnene, om resten af familien var i live. Det japanske fangenskab nedbrød Peders helbred, og han måtte forlade Kina i 1946. De sidste fem år af Peders liv tilbragte han sammen med familien i Austra- lien. Han ville gerne se Danmark en sidste gang, men døde undervejs. Bogen fortæller familiens dramatiske historie.

In this frank and damning exposé of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to help the world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish was to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answered any higher purpose than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa's fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and convicted frauds. Is Mother Teresa merely an essential salve to the conscience of the rich West, or an expert PR machine for the Catholic Church? In its caustic iconoclasm and unsparing wit, The Missionary Position showcases the devastating effect of Hitchens' writing at its polemical best.

The risen Jesus sends his disciples out as ""witnesses of repentance and the forgiveness of sins"" in his name. In a time of uncertainty for the western church--particularly for ""mainline"" congregations--this commission offers a simple framework for faithful, contextual work and witness, growing in the way of the God who sets captives free and raises the dead. One part call to action, one part celebration of the miracle that is the local church, Witnesses of These Things is an invitation to grab hold of the life that is truly life for which each one of us and this God-beloved world are made.

The best way to describe evangelism in its simplicity is an outer flow of love and power to the world because of your committed, loving relationship with Jesus.

Med udgangspunkt i Jesu Kristi liv og lære gennemgår Barron de vigtigste dele ved katolsk tro og kultur - fra sakramenter, tilbedelse og bøn, til Maria, apostlene og helgenerne, til en forklaring af begreber som nåde, frelse, himmel og helvede - med talrige referencer til kunst, litteratur, arkitektur, personlige historier, den hellige skrift, filosofi og historie.Forfatteren skriver: "Jeg vil tage dig med på en guidet udforskning af den katolske verden, men ikke som om det var en guidet tur i et kulturhistorisk museum.
