Note:"Vincent Donovan is an American Roman Catholic priest, a member of the Spiritan order, who worked for a good many years in Tanzania. His experiences there moved him in 1978 to write a book, a modest paperback of some 160 pages, but one which had an impact -- and still does -- far beyond what its author expected.... The book's subtitle is 'An Epistle from the Masai,' and it tells how the author's experiences trying to bring the Christian Gospel to the Masai people in Tanzania turned completely upside down his assumptions about the Christian Church and its mission." -- Bishop John Baker, Prophets for Our TIme: Fr Vincent J. Donovan (9/30/2009)
