Understanding an organization as vast and complicated as World Vision can be incredibly difficult. It's the biggest in the world and covers the earth with 50,000 employees working in 100 countries serving over 4 million children in under the world's worst conditions. Unfortunately it's easy for international development to become "politicized". Where money, religion and politics meet there's vast room for people to confuse ministry with social activism, social justice with the good news and changing the world with changing to be worldly. Here we have a special conversation about the recent decision by the WVUS board to begin hiring gay christians, the decision by the broader organization to reverse the decision, the inner form of the organization that makes this kind of thing possible and the prognosis for the future of World Vision and Christian international development in general in the light of a new public understanding of the internal struggles of the world's largest charitable organization.
