Is Postmodernism Ethnocentric?

In a recent conversation with a friend of mine, Keemin. We were discussing postmodernism and he happened across an interesting point. Many in the postmodern/emerging church movement (Brian McLaren in particular) have advocated a return to "vintage faith." By this they seem to mean that we should reclaim many of the traditions and understandings that have been lost over the years. However, I have never seen anyone, McLaren included, apply cultural or geographic qualifiers to their arguments. Does this mean that the parts of the world in which Christianity is present, yet does not have significant ties to the modern church, should also attempt to "reclaim vintage faith?"

I think that it is important to remember that not all of our brothers and sisters in the faith share the same intellectual traditions that "western" churches have. I think that this is where Ray Aldred has is right. When we begin to think of missions to six continents, and put to rest the idea of mission-sending and mission-receiving nations, we can hear the Gospel spoken back to us. As Aldred said at Urbana '03

As you begin to reach out beyond your own boundaries, as you choose to love the other people, as you chose to make yourself vulnerable, as you begin to try and communicate the gospel in the heart language of other people, you realize that your world, your construct of reality is too small. You realize that to communicate in another heart language you must speak from your heart and live out your spirituality on the level of human suffering. You realize that your presentation and your words are not enough. They are limited. You begin to understand that you are out there trying to convert the lost but you are still in need of conversion and re-creation. And you begin to hear the gospel story again

One of the things that we need to keep in mind is that North America and Western Europe do not have a monopoly on Christianity. The faith is global.
