Calvinist

In 1558, a young French Protestant fled a failing colony in Brazil and found himself living among the Tupinamb people. Jean de Lry did something almost no European of his time attempted: he listened. He transcribed their songs, learned their language, and recognized their full humanity. Centuries before the term existed, he practiced cultural humility as a spiritual discipline. His insight---that encountering the radically different reveals truth about ourselves---was prophetic. He glimpsed the oneness of humanity before it became our lived reality.
