Culture-making comes in many shapes and sizes, and sometimes the positive act of doing it proves to be not merely a diversion from but an alternative to culture destruction. I must tell you that reading the book ‘Three Cups of Tea’ (from the Pakistani/Afghanistani practice  that goes as follows.. “We drink three cups of tea to do business. During the first you are a stranger, we are getting acquainted, during the second you become a friend, and during the third, you become family, and for family we will do anything, even die.’) is a game changing and possibly even a life-changing experience.  It has made me begin to re-evaluate what it is God primarily wants me to do with the rest of the ministry he has called me to.  Ben Witherington
