Project Gutenberg 2008-02-06 Public domain in the USA. 387 Williamson, Mabel Have We No Rights? A frank discussion of the "rights" of missionaries Produced by Free Elf, Diane Monico, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Have We No Rights?" by Mabel Williamson is a reflective discourse written in the mid-20th century. This text delves into the complexities surrounding the concept of rights as experienced by missionaries, particularly in their interactions with different cultures and the sacrifices they make in the name of their vocation. The book examines issues such as personal autonomy, living standards, and the emotional toll of relinquishing one's rights to fulfill a spiritual calling. The opening of the book introduces a contemplative discussion about rights through the voices of Williamson's characters, particularly a mother reflecting on the changing nature of ownership over one's children as they grow. This is juxtaposed with the experiences of missionaries who grapple with what it means to give up personal freedoms in the service of their faith. Williamson recounts a poignant conversation among missionaries in China, highlighting the distinction between enduring hardship and sacrificing one's rights. These initial chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of the sacrifices required from missionaries, framing the narrative in a personal and relatable way as it invites the reader to consider their own understanding of rights in various contexts.
