in a sense the Africans are sending Christian missionaries to a de-Christianized America.

I see more and more evidence that Africa is the best hope for Christianity in the world despite or, perhaps, because of the tremendous persecution, poverty, and other difficulties Christianity faces there.

It seems that the African Churches maintain the traditional Christian doctrines, whereas the western churches have succumbed to the "Church of What's Happening Now" religious philosophy.

I think Christians in Africa and other troubled places are simply struggling to survive. This can cause one to focus on what is important. They cannot afford the luxury of arguing about what color the church carpet should be (if they are fortunate enough to have a church building and a carpet) and somehow I don't think the most important thing with them is homosexuality, poltical correctness, or deconstructing the Bible.
