Meaning "a bunch of Christians who are surrounded by other Christians, thereby eliminating exposure and interaction with the outside world." <BR/><BR/>It's a dangerous place, the Christian Ghetto. I think your presence on this mission trip is exposing some people who are stuck in the Christian Ghetto to people outside the ghetto. <BR/><BR/>It's a good thing. <BR/><BR/>One thing I'm curious about...are the different groups interacting at all? Are those in the ghetto getting to know you? Are they finding out that a sarcastic and dry woman can still have a strong Christian heart?<BR/><BR/>Man, I hope so!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440172.post-1160731312057673462006-10-13T02:21:00.000-07:002006-10-13T02:21:00.000-07:00"You may not be as earnest, you may not be burning..."You may not be as earnest, you may not be burning with a spiritual fire.
