[A fictional story.]

Question: What if missionaries from a small village in South Africa came to America and experienced the strange spirituality of Alcoholics Anonymous? Would they be as accepting as American Christians? Our story begins here:

Dear Mama and Papa,

We are in America at last. The Lord has sent us into the strangest belief system. The men and women here seem impervious to the Gospel, but the Lord has given us great love for them.

This religion teaches that virtually anything can be defined as a god. During their meetings these people gather and pray in unity, but the “god” each individual prays to can be as varied and unique as particles of sand in our African desert. It is unsettling watching them join in the Lord’s Prayer, because most do not know Jesus, and therefore cannot know the Father.

This religion was founded here in America in the 1930s.
