“Culture is a sacred activity, an exercise in the sphere of religion.”

“Culture is "lived religion". It is the form that religion takes in the lives of men.”

“Culture is not a peripheral concern, but the of the very essence of life. It is an expression of man's essential being as created in the image of God. Since mans is essentially a religious being, culture is expressive of his relationship to God, that is, of his religion.”

“Christians are called unto holiness and are to be engaged actively in self-purification. They are to walk in good works which have been prepared before, unto which they have been called. But how is it possible to visualize this activity of believers outside of their culture? Is holiness restricted to the life of the soul?”

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

“Culture is concerned with the world of values. All cultures are irreducibly value-oriented.”

“Religious faith always transcends culture, and is the integrating principle and power of man's cultural striving.”
