The Role of Foreign Christian Organizations in Asia today (part 1)
Stephen Bailey
Abstract
The author discusses the role that Foreign Christian Organizations (FCOs) play in Asia. He begins with the global context of Christianity within which FCOs currently work. After reviewing history of FCOs in Asia, he examines the working relationships of national governments and FCOs, both in theory and in practice. He suggests, in the conclusion, that both parties must work harder to find the time and space for honest dialogue and mutual understanding. They should find ways to build enough trust in the relationship to withstand the stress of the distance that now stands between them
