You reflection on short term mission has merit. I helped start the notion many years ago because i thought we couldn't wait for mission...service to catch a glipse of the enormity of the weight of injustice and poverty and violence. I have second thoughts now because its become self serving, building stuff and giving gifts that don't help much. Important subject althought it is transforming in a good way for a few people. At Christian Peacemaker Teams we ran about 20-25 delegations a year. they cost money but it was the first step to longer term commitment to become trained and a member peacemaker. I think I can still justify it but the critiques are also milling around in my brain. Gene Stoltzfus
