Context is important. A church which feels the need to explicitly say they promote a non-negotiable commitment to Europe - when we already basically do, and have - is implying something greater. A commitment to Europe to the exclusion of others. A church which says they promote a non-negotiable commitment to Africa - when we essentially ignore the continent, and have for a long time, even when repeated genocides are taking place and when sub-saharan Africa contains the poorest people in the world - is saying something entirely different.
