Is Theological Education Captive, Critic or Enhancer of the Respective Cultures in which It Is Rooted?

Abstract

I am very grateful for the opportunity of having to study this subject. As a matter of fact, when I was getting ready to write this paper, I realized how little I knew about the general subject of culture, and I have to thank you for the opportunity you are giving me to get acquainted with the literature on this matter, especially what UNESCO has published. Perhaps, this is a sign of how little Protestantism and our churches have been concerned with the question of culture! I am also very thankful for the quality of the group which has been convened by Alice Hageman and Jane Cary Peck. I think this dialogue is an important link in the ongoing dialogue between U.S. and Cuban churches. We have a lot to discuss and learn together.
