Evangelical Activities

The first paragraph under this header writes: "On 23 July 2001, Fortune published an interview with the Lippo director in which he espoused his vision of converting poor villages to Christianity."

Aside from the fact that this is a sensitive issue in many countries where Christians form a small but visible minority, this may easily be misconstrued as unethical proselytism. Regarding that interview in question, what Fortune actually wrote was: "Riady is expanding his private-school system in Lippo Village--where the Christian teachers are not permitted to smoke in their own homes or visit a nightclub in their spare time--hoping to open 1,000 schools in Indonesia's poorest villages."

Hence, we can see that J. Riady's vision was to establish educational establishments in the poorest villages of Indonesia that lacked resources and access to schools. It is true that these schools would espouse a Christian character, as is consistent with the personal beliefs of Riady, but it does not automatically follow that his underlying agenda is the wholesale conversion of these poor villages.

I propose that the sentence be rephrased or rewirtten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlphaBet678 (talk • contribs) 07:11, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
