Multi-culti families present various problems. None of them are insurmountable. Well, pretty near none ~ working out funeral arrangements for a Buddhist whose survivors are all Christian, but different kinds, except for the Jewish ones, ranging from Roman Catholic to Salvation Army, can be a trip ~ glad I didn't have to figure out how to bury somebody's grandma, Fur Shur.

I now see the wisdom of the Thai ~ grandpa is cremated ~ grandpa goes in little boxes ~ everybody gets a box ~ boxes go into the flower beds.

We are a bi-cultural, blended family. Latino/Catholic and Plain White Bread/Mormon.

Even though you might consider them both Christian, they each consider themselves the one-and-only-true-church!

The music is different, the food is different, the prayers are different, the language is different, the spirits are different.

By race, they are both white. By culture they are worlds apart!
