Yes, as you say Christianity is Americanized so much that it is sadly regarded still as a Western religion. With regard to Indianization, It has not been, I think, Indianization yet. It should be Indianized in India and Burmanized in Burma(Myanmar)in their context so that Christianity ought to spread among the nations as world Christianity. World Christianity cannot be Americanized or globalized!! Regards, Cope Hi,

Thanks for your comments. Just a note, Ireland has an amazing history of Christianity story; in that it helped preserve "western Christianity" as we know it especially with the Ottoman and other invasions in Europe. It was in the safe haven of Ireland that rich Christian historical literature were preserved in times of war. Eventually the monks of Ireland passed back the knowledge to the "main" church that interestingly now (as you say) dominates irish christianity. Interesting twist! :) To KJ. Thanks for your comments.

And Tillich's quote definitely gets me thinking. I'm about to preach a sermon about how Christianity changes as it encounters different cultures. I'm an Irish American and am often saddened by the way Christianity has been "Americanized," but I know if it hadn't been translated into my culture I would probably not have been able to understand it. Do you have any thoughts about how Christianity is "Indianized" and if it's good or bad? Necessary or unnecessary? Do you think it lost or gained important things from its core? Whatever that is... Thanks! Hey, I really like your thoughts. And Tillich’s quote definitely gets me thinking. I’m about to preach a sermon about how Christianity changes as it encounters different cultures.
