Abstract

ABSTRACT This article uses materials from the London Missionary Society archive to frame a discussion of mission as ‘enacted White gaze’. The article outlines generations of missionary material that expose the ways Whiteness recentres its views and imposes it on the wider church and world. This exposes Mission’s complicity in creating Whiteness and blurring together White and Christian supremacy. Thus, dismantling Whiteness is incumbent on mission movements as a part of their reparation for their complicity in and profit from colonialism and racism. Using New Testament material and critical Black theology, the article highlights the profound change of perspective, heart, faith, and vantage this requires.
