Sheology

Last week we heard from two Aboriginal aunties about the good and bad bits of growing up on missions run on white, Christian beliefs. We’ve cheekily labelled this episode a part two, cause where Sandra and Nel had important stories to tell about the mission experience, the women (and men) who attend church mission trips don’t always learn as much about what communities in need actually... need. We also zoom out even further to explore the related, somewhat bewildering trend of voluntourism. If you’re a reasonably well-to-do westerner who wants to help people but avoid white saviour behaviour, we might be able to assist.
