A sudden visa refusal, presumably prompted by the wider political situation affecting Tibet, forced us to return to the UK with just a few weeks’ notice.During our time in China, I developed a growing concern for the way in which Christians engage with the obvious issues of injustice that affect life for many ordinary Tibetans. Concern became torment as I sought to trace the roots of some of these issues.On our return to the UK a friend suggested we attend the Willow Creek Church leadership summit in the United States. One of the speakers encouraged Christian leaders to take note of the ‘positive deviants’ in their midst, realising that sometimes they will be on the leading edge of a God-inspired new initiative. I hope and pray that this short book will be unadulterated positive deviancy of exactly this sort.visualizza meno
