“Christ has redeemed the cultural agents, thus transforming culture also.”

“For while spirituality has the dynamic to transcend and transform culture, it invariably expresses itself in and through culture.”

“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”

“We have been trained by a culture of violence and we are all agents of passive violence.”

“Everyone, no matter what their cultural background, has a right to discover the sacred in nature; to heal and be redeemed spiritually by nature; and to revere the ancestors. We are all haunted and saved by our memories.”

“In observing the Sabbath, man was culturally structuring his time in accordance with a holy pattern. This was part of his cultural commision, along with the task of being an architect of space by tending the Garden. Space and time were thus consecrated by man's original culture.”
