levels of culture identity


the culture-blind level. the complete identification of the church with culture, so she cannot see where one ended and the other began. the church neutralized her integrity.

the culture-bound level. the identification of the church and culture where she has no strength to act independently. the church neutralized her effectiveness.

the culture-burnt level. through her uncritical identification with culture, the church has been badly burned and must live with the consequences.
