Cultural diversity was built into the Christian faith . . . in Acts 15, which declared that the new gentile Christians didn’t have to enter Jewish culture. . . . The converts had to work out . . . a Hellenistic way of being a Christian. [So] no one owns the Christian faith. There is no ‘Christian culture’ the way there is an ‘Islamic culture’ which you can recognize from Pakistan to Tunisia to Morocco. . . .24
