[11th Earl of Mar]

The question becomes are we really called to make the church look like the rest of the world while we do it? I don't think we are.

So, again, are you offended if a Peruvian church looks like the culture of Peru?

Or if an Alaskan church looks like the culture of Alaska?

So why wouldn't an American church have in it things that look like American culture?

American culture says taking the lord's name in vain is okay. You can just watch television one night and count the number of times. American culture says sex outside of marriage is fine, and is practiced by millions. Should our churches model this too?

I don't think it's fair or accurate to say that churches should reflect the culture of the country they are in.
