Quotes by Richard Twiss (?)

“The real aim of colonialism was to control the people’s wealth, what they produced, how they produced it,” Ngūgī wa Thiong’o sees the way that control was introduced and managed was to deconstruct the people’s sense of self and replace it with that of the colonizer. This would occur when a people’s perception of themselves and their world was overthrown.”

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22). While these fruits, qualities, values or characteristics are universally true for all people, how did they find expression, uniquely, in each local culture?”

“It seems that Western-trained theologians and the theologies rooted in them are quite concerned about protecting the Bible from a kind of imagined “Indigenous cultural invasion.” The Roman Empire had a huge military force to protect its land claims and authority from hostile enemies. The United States of America has a similar force in place and is not afraid to use it to protect its national borders and international interests.”
