Centerfield Productions: Shame vs. Guilt

Centerfield Productions > Ideas: "In the West it seems we are in transition. We are moving away from being a guilt-based culture, towards a shame-based culture. Because of that transition, many of our students have grown up experiencing shame more than guilt, but they’ve done so in a country where the Christian community’s expertise lies in dealing with guilt more than shame. Which probably means that to many of them, and maybe to many of our staff as well, the offer of the gospel has not sounded as sweet as it actually is."
