I decided to blog this source as a comment to some of the things i heard in the past days at my guesthouse in Dar es Salaam, from other guests nota bene. It had taken a slightly too missionary lean in the sense of religious superiority feelings (nicely packed in a development discourse). Very oldfashioned, indeed! And quite unlike much of what I heard from long-serving missionaries who had learned much about religious tolerance in this country.
