When Charity Destroys Dignity: Overcoming Unhealthy Dependency in the Christian Movement.

When Charity Destroys Dignity: Overcoming Unhealthy Dependency in the Christian Movement.

by Glenn J. Schwartz

“Schwartz brings years of mission experience, primarily in Africa, to address issues of paternalism and dependency that are frequently the outcome of our compassionate efforts in mission. He provides specific examples of behaviors that can promote dependency, as well as beginning the discussion of how we might do missions in a way that empowers and facilitates self-reliance.”  (from Rev. Judy Ganz, Moravian Board of World Mission)
