Description
Summary:In this brief piece, I present an introduction to a conversation on decisions surrounding the education of missionary children in the Belgian Congo during the period 1946 to 1959. This conversation began in April 2018 with the publication of Anicka Fast's article on "Sacred children and colonial subsidies," to which Lawrent Buschman submitted a rebuttal. Fast then submitted a response to Buschman's rebuttal. My introduction seeks to frame their conversation for the readers of Missiology: An International Review.
