Weblog: Time's Cover Story on Missions to Muslims Arrives
And despite some worries from conservative news outlets and mission agencies, the article is excellent.

Finally, the main objection to the Time cover story is also a reminder to the "religiously arrogant" contingent of missionaries that goes in thinking they'll win hundreds of coverts in a month or two. "Should Christians convert Muslims?" asks Time's cover story. Evangelicals will want to change that title, believing that only the Holy Spirit can convert Christians and change hearts. Christians, on the other hand, are called to bear witness, to make disciples, to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God. It's refreshing to see a number of missionaries doing just that, not only in Muslim nations, but in the pages of Time magazine.
