Many of you have been following the situation going on in Haiti – no, not the earthquake and recovery, but the arrest and pending trial of 10 U.S. Christian Missionaries who are under judicial scrutiny right now for the alleged kidnap attempt of dozens of Haitian children.
This story disturbs me on many fronts, and it’s taken everything in me to hold my peace on giving my opinion on this specific situation until more information is revealed. I am preparing, however, to give my general feelings about Christian Mission around the world – both in a historical and contemporary context.
While the Idaho-based, Christian Missionaries are awaiting trial, the latest news is that their lawyer has resigned. While it is not immediately clear why Edwin Coq, resigned, what is clear is that he places greater responsibility on the group leader, Laura Silsby, who he says knew full well that she didn’t have any legal documentation to do what she was attempting.
Stay tuned. This is what happens when Christian Mission goes way wrong.
