Culture based on shame, honour
Continued from page 15
this part of the world. These men are
not cowards; they shake with good
reason. If their families discover
their faith, they will be killed, unless
they can escape in time.
This is a culture based on a
shame/honour system. Shame is
defined as anything done wrong in
public. If the same deed is done in
private, it is not shameful. The same
goes for an honourable action.
This contrasts drastically with our
western way of thinking, measured
by the system of right and wrong.
An example of their system in prac
tice can be evidenced with a woman
who is pregnant out of wedlock. If
none of the neighbours or family
have discovered her womb’s secret,
her family breathes deeply and
swifts her away to the mountains
where the baby is bom; then the
woman is returned, alone, and the
baby adopted by another.
However, if someone unearths the
truth before she flees, her brothers
and father will take her into the
streets and stone her, in order to save
face. One cannot have it seem that
evil is being allowed or condoned.
The family dares not weep, either, at
the loss of her life, for it is better for
one to be killed than for the family
name to be tainted.
There is so much to plead and
praise for. We need to beg God for
freedom for these women, that the
lies of the Devil might be made
clear, and God’s perfect design for
marriage be established. Plead that
more might walk in Nicodemus’s
footsteps, that the universities might
give birth to fellowship for their
believing and seeking students; that
more might join the few who dare to
speak Jesus’s name and live out His
love.
Finally, as God cleans the air with
rain so the mountains - in jagged,
snow-capped beauty - are shown cir
cling the cities in protective pride,
might He clean the streets of apathy
and usher in Joy.
