Whatever I am to make of this life, all human beings are in it together.  other persons and toher cultures must be valued by God; surely they matter no less than I.  Yet their beliefs and values in some ways conflict with mine.  I must deal with this.  I have a great bias toward my own local culture, but I become increasingly suspicious of it as I make contact with the wider world.  I grow wary of such terms as "chosen people."  I begin to understand that genuine truth may have many vantages.  My home town is less unique in God's eyes than I had assumed.  I learn and assimilate relativism.
