“At this point, an argument can be made that American evangelicalism is global evangelicalism — that it has been so woven into the fabric of so many cultures around the world that it has become self-perpetuating, like pizza in American cuisine or eucalyptus trees in South African landscapes.”
~ Holly Berkley Fletcher, The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism (Minneapolis: Broadleaf, 2025), p. 127
“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."
~ Ibid., p. 139

"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.”
