From the OM blog:
Over a year ago, I was serving at an OM training conference in the Netherlands, growing more discouraged every day as I repeatedly heard staff and new recruits speak derisively about my home country and culture, even as they spoke on cultural sensitivity. I even began responding to others in a different accent (not difficult after living abroad) just to avoid the comments.
One night, a young Dutch woman on the conference staff spoke words that changed my life.
