Ethnocentrism becomes the perceptual window through which a culture naturally interprets and judges all other cultures.
The logical extension of ethnocentrism is the position that "our way is the right way." As preachers we must intentionally guard against the natural tendency toward ethnocentrism by reminding ourselves that cultural contexts are neither right nor wrong, better nor worse; they are just different.
It begins as this article began, by looking to preachers who believe that "a healthy future for the church needs to involve intentional consideration of how to preach effectively across cultures." Preachers need to see and celebrate the value of the goal.

In an increasing number of countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet bloc, the social and political turbulence has taken the form of coups and countercoups, mass uprisings, internecine warfare among reactionary forces, recurrent civil wars of varying s and protracted people’s wars.
But such influence would be countered by strong revisionist influence, the notion of Soviet assistance as the decisive factor and various petty-bourgeois notions of quick military victory, even as the longest lasting armed revolutionary movements, whether Maoist or non-Maoist, have made extensive use of the countryside in practice.
Ironically, when the influence of Mao’s strategic line of protracted people’s war was being denigrated by revisionist and petty-bourgeois radicals, the US imperialists were succeeding in the use of some kind of rural mass base, ethnocentric or religious, to fight city-based Soviet-supported regimes as in Angola, Mozambique, Nicaragua and Afghanistan.

Of course an implicit point of Joel’s article is that our abilities to maintain abstractions allow us to ignore this leakiness most of the time — and some disciplines, such as mathematics, for example, have suppressed the leaks very well.
For example, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy begins its article on reference by saying “Reference is a relation that obtains between expressions and what speakers use expressions to talk about.” The article continues with an exploration of the relationship between expressions (typically words) and things; speakers drop out of the picture.
