ARGH!!!!!

A man . . . not just a man, but a man in a leadership role . . . not just any leadership but a leader of a MAJOR missions organization actually said today, "I wish we weren't always the ones who had to adapt to the ethnic minorities. I mean if we were entering a new culture, we'd adapt to it. I don't see why they can't sometimes be asked to adapt to ours."

We were talking about the lack of women and ethnic leaders on the boards and in leadership roles at mission organizations.

Can you begin to imagine how much fun I'm having at this consultation . . . in the boondocks of VA . . . where I walk in the cold with the cows and the stars at night in order to avoid other such fun conversations????!!!!! Can you?
