Lest anyone gain the false impression that I can read Russian, I should point out that I resort to using http://translate.google.com/ Google Translate in order to navigate around Russian websites.
The important point Peter makes is that we need to be aware that rest of the world is far from being Anglo-centric. Even in Wikipedia there is a drive to address the issue of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_bias Systemic bias that arose from the huge amount of edits contributed by English speakers since its foundation. If we are to esteem our brethren in Christ as highly as we ought to in the light of the Gospel, we shall not insist that they first learn to use English in order to make the best use of Bible software. This is surely part of what St. Paul implies in 1 Thess 5:13, and by inference in Romans 12:3. cf. also 2 Cor. 4:5. Recommended reading: Ian M. Randall, Spiritual Revolution - The History of OM. Esteeming other Christians as more important in the Lord than ourselves is one of the great lessons that I learned from my early involvement with OM in the period 1967-1970. -- David Haslam Peter von Kaehne wrote: > > That is what I am trying to challenge.
