We could see how the mixing culture with religion around the world happens, especially in Turkey where going to the musk is a part of their social life and community. The Missionaries will have to be culturally sensitive to these issues and not legalistic in order to get their message across and to be accepted. It is different here in the west in that we aren’t so tied to our religious buildings that we could not call ourselves Americans if we didn’t attend the synagogue or church building. However, in some things it is similar, like certain holidays we celebrate that are tied to Christianity but have a pagan twist on them. With the pagan twist it makes it more culturally accepted in all religions such as Easter and Christmas. Easter can be celebrated as the resurrection of Jesus or that can be left out to only celebrate the Easter Bunny and go on Easter egg hunts all originating from the old pagan practice of worshiping the god of fertility
