I was sorting through some old papers from some years ago
when I came across this paragraph I had written on Church and Context. What do you think? Agree or disagree?
Clemens Sedmarks says at the start of his chapter on Theology
and Local Culture:
“Local cultures are expressions
of God’s continuing creation. Theology begins with the human situation. It is a
‘second step’. The human situation has a cultural face. The concept of culture,
which touches all levels of human existence, is one of the most difficult and
yet basic concepts and needs to be considered in local theologies .... our
cultures are shaped by implicit theologies” [1]
