...killings might well have fed the missionary impulse by itself. ?It brought [modern day] martyrdom alive,? says Scott Moreau, a professor of missiology at Wheaton College. ?It made it real.? But, in fact, two accelerants came into play. The first magnifier was a favorable story in LIFE magazine about the deaths with photos by a well-known war photographer, Cornell Capa. (The killings were also covered by TIME (You may note that in the archive article this tribe is referred to as Aucas). At that point, says Moreau, evangelicalism, which had only recently begun to separate from a more hard...
...fantasy in Resnais's Last Year at Marienbad or Fellini's 8 1/2, about Antonioni's seductive use of existential ennui. And when foreign films didn't tax the brain, they stirred the loins. In pouty Brigitte Bardot, in statuesque peasant Sophia Loren, in the knowing rapture of Jeanne Moreau, Americans saw ideals of glamour more complex than Jayne Mansfield. Even Bergman gave you bosoms along with the angst. These films were invitations to European decadence; each American became a Henry James innocent abroad, primed for education and debauchery...
...volunteered Rwanda in March. In July Warren and 48 other American Evangelicals, who have backgrounds in areas like health, education, micro-enterprises and justice, held intensive planning meetings with Rwandan Cabinet ministers, governors, clergy and entrepreneurs. One dinner was attended by a third of the Rwandan Parliament. Says Scott Moreau, a professor of missiology at Wheaton College in Illinois: "I've never heard of this level of cooperation in the last 100 years between any megachurch, mission agency or even a denomination and a national government...
...there are some skeptics. Many missions professionals regard short-term site visits by faith-driven amateurs as inefficient. Then there is the program's improvisational aura. "I'm cheering 'em on," says Wheaton's Moreau. "In Africa, programs appearing well connected can instantly attract a mass of people. But I wonder how many at Saddleback have the cross-cultural experience to convert that [enthusiasm] to feet on the ground." Says Furaha Mugisha, editor of the Rwandan newspaper Umuseso: "I think [Warren] has good intentions. Some people may benefit. But he is not different from other pastors we have seen...
Although set in the '20s, this is the '60s film par excellence. Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) both love the free-spirited Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), who bunks with each of them. Unofficially remade dozens of times (most recently by Bernardo Bertolucci as The Dreamers), François Truffaut's 1962 valentine to not-so-free love explored the geometry of the romantic triangle with a scientist's precision and a poet's wisdom. The confusions of love never seemed so radiant...
