A Generous Asian Orthodoxy

Thanks to Sivin for this fascinating essay on Postmodernism in an Asian context. It is interesting because we felt some of this when in Thailand... this embracing of Western (particularly American) culture in order to follow Jesus... when Jesus was from and lived in Asia!

...[the Asian churches] are interacting not with local culture, but with popular Western culture. Essentially, they are propagating a different form of imperialism, shifting from high-culture imperialism to low-culture imperialism (which could be worse?).
