One is more valuable than the other.

This is true to a certain degree but, you don’t mention the fact and neither did he, that many alliances and deals where made with local tribes about land. Many tribal chiefs murdered one another and there where a great many wars going on before the missionaries ever arrived. Many tribes looked for protection from the missionaries. It’s not a two viewpoint issue. A lot of South Africa was also uninhabited at the time.

Missionairies were and still are colonialist trash.

The basic presumption of virtually all missionaries is simply that what they have and believe should be believed by others who know nothing of it. They are blind to any perception and knowledge of the Universal Christ who "lights all who come into the world". Instead of the recognition that Christ may already be known to others, has made Himself known, in ways beyond the missionaries ken, they instead presume the ignorance of those they go to. They are blind to the spirit that blows where it will.

Thomas Merton has said this much better than I, in a letter to the zen man D.T. Suzuki:-

I want to speak for this Western world.................which has in past centuries broken in upon you and brought you our own confusion, our own alienation, our own decrepitude, our lack of culture, our lack of faith...........If I wept until the end of the world, I could not signify enough of what this tragedy means. If only we had thought of coming to you to learn something..............If only we had thought of coming to you and loving you for what you are in yourselves, instead of trying to make you over into our own image and likeness. For me it is clearly evident that you and I have in common and share most intimately precisely that which, in the eyes of conventional Westerners, would seem to separate us. The fact that you are a Zen Buddhist and I am a Christian monk, far from separating us, makes us most like one another. How many centuries is it going to take for people to discover this fact?......

Yes. How many centuries?

A. W. Milne was a missionary just like my aunt for 50 years, greatly loved .

He packed all his belongings in a coffin, because he expected to be killed, but he was loved instead.

As for A. W. Milne, he Knew that most of the missionaries before him died a martyr’s death, still he accepted the call of God to minister to a tribe in the New Hebrides – island group in the South Pacific Ocean that now is the nation of Vanuatu. There he lived for 35 years. God’s timing and favor had given him a break through among these people and there he enjoyed favor.

But A. W. Milne would never return home. After many years of fruitful labor for the Lord, he passed and was buried in the middle of the town. The inscription on his tombstone could not have been more clearer:

“when he came there was no light, when he left there was no darkness.

It was the empire that did wrong. There were/are genuinely selfless missionaries who go to spread the gospel for God's glory. What faith was Desmond? 😏

True - they did the same in the Americas and Australia.

According to Tacitus who was born in 59 ad and died in 129 ad who was a Roman senator and historian wrote in his anals which he kept concerning Rome trying to figure out where are the Jews came from that the Jews had the appearance of Ethiopians.
Going by Tacitus and a few other things they stole the heritage and then used it against what is now considered Africans - as well as the Americas and Australia.

It's a brilliant line

Yes well the missionaries and the priesthoods of man
were and are corrupt. They gut the Spirit in the name
of God.
Scott

That one never fails to crack me up, and then I feel a little sad afterward because it's true.
