I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about what the reaction would be if America was subject to the same kind of missions as India. I don't think it would be seen as welcome charity, healthy competition, and a glorious example of free speech, and most especially not by the folks who sponsor missions in Asia and Africa.
You characterized missionaries to Appalacia are trespassers, but those to Himalaya, it's maybe yes, maybe no, it all depends? Seems like a double standard.
You characterized missionaries to Appalacia are trespassers It is not how I characterize, it is how the people in the Applacia characterize them. Anybody who they don't know is a trespasser and could get shot. Black, white, red, green, Christian, wiccan whatever.
