Monday Reflection for Week 9

It was fascinating to me to hear more about McGavern's work in India and his ministry there. I had not heard before of the distinguishing between the idea of "high culture," where the Western culture was seen as the one culture all others are striving towards, to the idea of many cultures each being valuable in their own right. In my Culture and Transformation class, we have been discussing how cultures are not neutral. They can be capable of evil, but are also able to be redeemed. It was helpful to think more critically of my own culture and continue to see all that we can learn from other cultures.
