Australia Day Special: Marbz Diaz on How (not) To Be a Cultural Imperialist
Show Notes

Marbz Dias is the National Church Relations Manager for Baptist World Aid. Coming from a Filipino background, Marbz knows personally what it's like to live in a society that is deeply scarred by the impact of a culturally insensitive colonial past.
So settle back and listen as Marbz shares with us how he made exactly that same mistake, in his dealings with an Indigenous church leader here in Australia. Marbz shares how he realised that he was bringing his own agenda into a conversation with an Indigenous leader, and failed to respect and understand their culture. 
Ouch! But he definitely gets full marks for honesty and vulnerability!
