“The media is flooded with stories illustrating the unhappy marriage between patriarchy and abuse in evangelicalism. ...
But patriarchy is just one piece of the puzzle, in some ways more of a manifestation than a driver. Patriarchy is what psychologist Dave Verhaagen, an evangelical Christian himself, identifies as a response to deep seated anxiety and fear that, according to data he has analyzed, pervades evangelical culture and leads to an overemphasis on control and unquestioned authority.”

“Whatever people around the world learn from missionaries, whatever elements of American Christianity they keep, and whatever the missionaries themselves bring or take away, one thing is clear: the American church has been less affected and less enlightened by those on the receiving end of its missionary endeavor, or even by their own missionaries, then one might hope. Too often missions are less a relationship that challenges and matures the American church and more a pleasing product to consume, a beautiful reflection upon which to gaze.”
