Papua New Guinea: Linguists for the Lord
9 minutes, 2001
Ref: 211

The trial of foreign aid workers is under way this week in Afghanistan. The Taliban regime claims the aid workers are missionaries, preaching an abolished religion - Christianity. But allegations of this type are not isolated to Afghanistan. All over the world, missionaries are accused of taking on various roles to gain access to the populations they want to convert. One American-based Christian fundamentalist group promotes its missionaries as linguists. We visited a village in Papua New Guinea, where two of those missionaries are now working.
