We believe:

• The Incarnation is God’s process of inculturating his love in human cultures.
  
  
• Nothing takes precedence over the value and dignity of the human person.
  
  
• The human person can come to an authentic and full humanity only through culture.
  
  
• All cultures, being human creations, are both graced and sinful, thus in need of redemption.
  
  
• The Good News of the Christian Gospel constantly renews the life and cultures of fallen humanity.
  
  
• The process through which the Gospel penetrates cultures is lengthy and ongoing.
  
  
• Inculturation is a process of bringing Divine Love in Christ to all strata of humanity.
  
  
• Through the power of the Gospel love human criteria of judgment, determining values, points of interest, lines of thought, sources of inspiration, and models of life, are affected and transformed.
  
  
• The message of salvation builds on human culture, for God has spoken according to the cultures proper to different ages.
