"Inculturation is not a superficial strategy for the propagation of our faith, but the very nature and identity of our mission, on the very pattern of God's mission manifested through Jesus in the dialogue of salvation. Only when the Church dialogues with the cultures of Asia, giving birth to Asian forms of Christian spirituality, prayer and worship, theology and lifestyle, will we grow as fully Asian and authentically Christian Churches."
