[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 21 Apr 2008--Every church is cultural to some extent. Unwittingly, unknowingly perhaps, all churches run the danger of baptising their particular cultural values in the font of Christianity.

Coming from a Chinese church context myself, and now as pastor of Asian Bible Church (ABC), I’ve had to wrestle with the issue of being in a specific ethnic/cultural church. Now, there are all sorts of cultural churches – surfer church, skater church, cafĂ© church, pub church, etc – but I’ll turn my critical eye to what I know first-hand. This is what I see.
