SOCIOLOGY
Based on your readings and the lecture materials this week, share one important concept that stood out to you and explain what impact it has on you as a missionary. Article is listed below.
In Muslim societies missionary women often debate whether to wear a burkha which covers them totally.
Is that simply cultural dress, or a religious identifier? Does wearing a burkha also mean submitting to a role for women that is in many ways diametrically opposed to the values that are instilled in their own home churches?
Does identification to the local culture imply subjecting oneself to those practices as well, or should the missionaries model a different way to live in these areas?
