OK, the Detroit Free Press ran an article today that kind of annoyed me. It’s about something the author calls "religious tourism." This isn’t the $3000 trips to Israel or a Bible lands trip to Greece and Turkey.
No, he’s talking about short term missions. I’ll be the first to say that many foreign mission trips aren’t all that effective ministry-wise, but to label missions as some sort of tourist industry is a bit odd. Read the whole article here.
For thought: Isn’t this a short sighted view of travel since missionaries of all shapes and sizes really opened up a lot of areas of the world to Western people?
