Crouch on what’s important

This seemed obliquely relevant to recent posts…
We are not devoted to the preservation of a single culture, but to incarnation and transformation within every culture. So we need one another to help determine the “important” and “unimportant” features of any given culture.This will be an inherently multicultural exercise, because sorting out the important from the unimportant cannot happen in isolation or from a distance. … Only together can we discern the deeper significance of any given cultural practice, its redemptive possibilities, and its tempting distortions of the life that really is life.
