Abstract

Transform Europe Network (TEN) works with indigenous leaders in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The last seven years serving as CEO at TEN has given me the privilege of time with people to listen to their stories. Such experiences have shaped my perspective on how we work alongside indigenous leaders in this often-forgotten corner of Europe. This is a knotty challenge and in spite of lots of thinking it remains so. I believe we need to bring together thinking (reason) with story. In this article, with a focus on the Balkans and the help of a T.S. Eliot poem, I want to propose that mission among indigenous people must operate within the story of the people and place concerned, as well as the resurrected Messiah story we profess. Reason can only take us so far.
