What a wonderful book - strip Christianity down to its bare bones so that other cultures can flesh it out with their own expressions. How much beauty has Christianity lost because we insisted on our own culture’s version of it.

I love the magic of seeing something so familiar through other cultures’ eyes. Reading how the Maasai retell the parables, create a liturgy, or perform a baptism ceremony is so neat.

But actually the book is not very much about the Maasai. It is more about the universal, communal practice of Christianity.
