Christian Century, June 30, 1999 by Robert Snyder

The church must not look to economic cures while ignoring systemic disease. We must not swing the odds against our brothers and sisters who are fighting for change. They understand the need for changed hearts. To paraphrase Bakole Wa Ilunga's book The Paths of Liberation: A Third World Spirituality: The path of liberation is long and winding, but it always must go through the heart of humanity.

Robert Snyder, a former agricultural missionary in Rwanda, is professor of biology at Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois. He also directs a new program in international Christian agricultural ministries.
