Challenges and Prospects in Faith-Culture Encounter

Abstract

This article explores the complex interaction between Christian faith and diverse cultures, focusing on two main challenges: the fear of losing Christian identity and the impact of deformative cultural-religious unconscious biases. It maintains that identity is not diminished but enriched through dialogue, drawing on Trinitarian and incarnational models. The text also emphasises the need to purify collective prejudices to promote genuine engagement. Ultimately, it suggests that faith and culture can mutually strengthen each other—helping Christianity to remain a vibrant tradition while addressing contemporary agnosticism through anthropological sensitivity and reciprocity.
