{2] Rebecca Todd Peters writes from her personal experience of metanoia, or seeing with new eyes, when at the age of twenty-four she attended a women’s leadership development conference in Jamaica that was sponsored by faith-based organizations. At the conference she developed relationships with women whose lives were very different from her own and listened to their stories of struggle and challenge. These personal relationships gave her a new vantage point for understanding economic globalization. Her even deeper transformation occurred when after sharing her story of being called to help people by doing mission work in the two-thirds world, a Nigerian lawyer said to her, “If you want to help me and my people, the best thing that you can do is to go back to the United States and confront the powers of globalization that are destroying my country and my people” (xii).
