Worship and Culture
The link between worship and culture is always a tricky one. Came across this simple, but very good summary on Ron Man's Worship Resource site. It is from the Lutheran World Federation's "Nairobi Statement on Worship and Culture".
Christian Worship Relates to Culture in at least four ways:
First, it is Transcultural
the same substance for everyone, everywhere, beyond culture
Second, it is Contextual
varying according to the local situation
Third, it is Counter-cultural
challenging what is counter to the Gospel in a particular culture
Fourth, it is Cross-cultural
making possible sharing across different cultures
