'...the West should get over its Christendom guilt complex about Christianity as colonialism by accepting that Christianity has survived its European political habits and is thriving today in its post-Western phase among non-Western populations, sometimes because of, and often in spite of, Western missionaries. The religious strife and conflict that accompanied the political domestication of Christianity in Europe have not been repeated with the rise of world Christianity, and Europeans should therefore should be assured that strife and conflict, and their accompanying territorial upheaval, need not follow Christian expansion.'
Lamin Sanneh, Whose Religion is Christianity? The Gospel beyond the West, p.74.
