Abstrakt

Christian formation is at once a corporate and personal response to God in public and private life. Intrinsic individualism in both Lao and American cultures militates against spiritual formation, promoting divisions between various spheres of life and tending to divorce God from a central place in human life. A bicultural, bilingual team is aiding a Midwest congregation in their spiritual formation. Together with Lao and Americans, they studied and acted on the nature of the church using a Reformed tradition and a model of human culture to interpret the nature of the church. Members of the team learned: a universal model of human cultures is essential to understanding each other; transcultural metaphors of the church are helpful for spiritual insights; and people in both cultures must respect, strengthen, modify and amalgamate their unique cultural realities to generate Christian formation.
