Christianity is a global, multicultural faith in part because it can and must be translated and adapted to every different time and place. The New Testament is surprisingly non-prescriptive–indeed, barely descriptive–about forms of worship, leaving the door wide open for full cultural contextualization and expression, at least potentially. The origin story of the early church is precisely a narrative of breaking language barriers at Pentecost. The most extensively narrated next story is that of Peter and Cornelius and the crossing of full-height cultural barriers. As Jesus told the Samaritan woman: a time would come when worshippers would not be limited to any particular place but would worship (anywhere) “in spirit and in truth.”
