"When we speak of culture in its broadest sense we are speaking about the sum total ways of living that shape (and also are shaped by) the continuing life of a group of human beings from generation to generation. We are speaking about the language that enables them to grasp, conceptualize, and communicate the reality of their world; about law, custom, and forms of social organization, including marriage, family and agriculture. These things shape the life of each member of the society. From the point of view of the individual member they are given as part of the tradition into which he or she is born and socialized. But they are not changeless absolutes." -Lesslie Newbigin PAX North seeks engage culture with the gospel of Christ.
