(3) Time in Church
1. Backward style: experience-oriented views of time
(1) looking back to God's work in history
(2) a moment-by-moment work of faith
(3) no sheaf of papers but his guitar
(4) expressions of such worship forms (by Mariana Slocum and Florence Gerdel, Wycliffe Bible translator in S. Mexico)
2. Forward style: future-oriented views of time
(1) looking forward to the victorious end of history
(2) concerned about eschatology (pre-dominantly choleric North America)
(4) Cultural Dominance
1. Future-oriented and event-oriented cultures do not remain side by side without change indefinitely.
1) they borrow from one another, but always very selectively.
2) the more \\\"advanced\\\" peoples trample the \\\"quaint\\\" practice of \\\"backward\\\" peoples in order to speed up so-called development.
2. Western society is not only triumphant; it is also triumphalistic. That is, it heralds its own victory as the obvious and best solution to cultural friction.
3. After two centuries there is still a \\\"time problem\\\" with the American Indians. Teachers and missionaries in the Southwest have emphasized the need to teach the Anglo time structure in grade school, to make the Indian bi-temporal as part of being bi-cultural.
4. Whenever Western powers have exercised economic or cultural dominance, time perception changes under cultural pressure.
5. Kosuke Koyama (Japanese theologian):
Evangelism has not made any significant headway in Asia for the last 400 years because Christians crusaded against Asians....I submit that a good hundred million American dollars, a hundred years of crusading will not make Asia Christian. Christian faith does not and cannot be spread by crusading. It will spread without money, without bishops, without theologians, without planning, if people see a crucified mind, not a crusading mind, in Christians.
6. The effort to buy time or control it has its price.
7. Anglos may praise those who have become integrated into the mainstream of society but traditional Indians ridicule the \\\"apple Indian\\\" (red outside, white inside).
[Con.] Deprivation and low self-esteem lead some to imitate the dominant culture, which usually means being cut off from their cultural roots. Other resist such a move and isolate themselves not only from the dominant choleric vision of the future, but also from those who are trying to bridge the gap.
